That aside, for someone without DL, CHL, Registration, Proof of Insurance with and/or on them and you get stopped, it is "possible" you could be cited for "failure to identify". At the very least some serious explaining to do...

Have a good one!

Not according to my understanding of most common ID laws. I know of no law that requires a person to carry identification on them at all times, unless they are currently engaging in an activity that requires an ID (such as driving, carrying concealed in most states, etc.). A "man on the street" interaction with a cop requires no more than name and date of birth, IF the cop request them. "Papers please" does not apply outside of certain activities, no matter how much some people (and some cops) wish it were otherwise.

Didn't even notice until we went to eat, good thing my wife had her ID's, so from there on she drove, carried the pistol, and paid for lunch.

It happens.

See, what you do is, you have your wife hold your hand, so if anyone asks why you're carrying a gun, you just tell them your wife's carrying them both, and you're the purse.
