He has to ID someone open carrying a gun, cause felons can't do that.
So the logic is that if it is illegal for some people to do something then the cops should ID people who are doing it just to make sure they aren't prohibited?

Yes. If you're legally doing it you have nothing to worry about. Show your ID and go on your way.

The guy is walking down the street with a rifle. While it may be legal, its not exactly the same as walking down the street with a lollipop. Im not sure why people cant see the difference here.

Walking around in a kilt with a rifle. It's weird, and it's something a crazy person might do.

Like showing ID to get in a casino, purchase age restricted goods & services, operate a motor vehicle, get on an airplane.

I'm not reading this entire thread (not yet, at least), but for those saying "the police officer has to check out whether someone openly carrying a rifle -- legal in Texas -- is a felon."
Do police officers have the right to pull over every car they encounter to check to see whether the driver is licensed? Absolutely not. See Brown v. Texas for a clue.
My argument is separate from drivers license checkpoints, which are random and less far-reaching.
Irrelevant. This man was carrying a rifle. Openly carrying a rifle is legal in Texas, unless you are "disturbing the peace." That's the loophole... does scared 911 callers reach the threshold of "disturbing the peace"?

You act like the guy was eating ice cream or something. He was carrying a deadly weapon. So the answer is yes, dumbass.
