Dear Mr. Raven,

As per the rules and restrictions listed on a firearms application, all licensed firearms holders have agreed to not "Refuse to show the license or surrender the personal firearm to any peace officer upon demand" when signing their firearms license application. This allows law enforcement officers de jure and de facto permission to request any individual carrying a firearm to provide their identification and firearms license at any given time.

I hope this response has satisfied your inquiry. Should you have any, feel free to follow through with any further questions. Otherwise, this request will be archived within 48 hours.

With regards,

Police Officer III+1 Thomas Pennyworth
Senior Media Relations Officer, Media Relations Division
