FWIW, all of our zoo, a couple of dogs and a couple of cats have all of their shots, including the indoor only assault kitten, and our rescued mutts are “licensed”.
Too, we’re a small town, the police know me, and I expect no problems with the town, except property taxes, of course.
But your approach, should anyone actually bug me, is exactly correct.
A side thought: instead of your normal carry weapon, take the carbine to answer the door. It should keep them more respectful.
Another side thought: if the “president” doesn’t have to show his “papers”, why should my pets (read bosses, I know who runs the house)?

THAT'S RASCIST!
I need to get me one of those. :)
