Are there states with with valid ID carry laws? I thought the the case that Edward Lawson took to the US Supreme Court invalidated those laws.

I was under the impression that you had to verbally identify yourself to a law enforcement officer if requested, but that you could not be compelled to produce identification unless you needed to prove that you were a licensed driver, fisherman etc if you were driving, fishing or whatever.
