If cops start stopping people with pistols on their hips, or people walking with rifles in rural areas, then I can buy this argument.
Indeed, they have.

The guy should have gotten a ticket for having no ID.
There is no Texas law stating that people must carry identification when in public, other than driving or in a state park (I think that's right about the park).
In fact, you are not required to verbally identify yourself in Texas to a police officer "just for the hell of it."

Sec. 38.02. FAILURE TO IDENTIFY. (a) A person commits an offense if he intentionally refuses to give his name, residence address, or date of birth to a peace officer who has lawfully arrested the person and requested the information.
(b) A person commits an offense if he intentionally gives a false or fictitious name, residence address, or date of birth to a peace officer who has:
(1) lawfully arrested the person;
(2) lawfully detained the person; or
(3) requested the information from a person that the peace officer has good cause to believe is a witness to a criminal offense.

Well, I don't see any need to ID or question people carrying pistols unless it doesn't look right. My point is, I'm fine erring on the side of caution when it comes to questioning people walking around open carrying firearms. As long as it is a simply questioning and quick ID, I'm fine with it. It's when it gets to be long drawn out questioning, or questioning people in situations where open carry is openly accepted.
