Dumb question for those who use an ID cane... (self.Blind)

You can get a foldable cane that’s handy to put away when you don’t want to use it!?

Yes, I have one. Maybe I'm not explaining myself clearly.

The point is to have it out for identification purposes. So you want the cane visible for others to see so they know you're visually impaired, but you don't strictly need it for mobility in that moment. Do you bother with cane technique the same way you would if you were using it for mobility, or do just carry at your side and not bother with technique, or something else?

(I realize this is a ridiculous question that probably just comes down to personal preference, but I've never really used a cane in this context. It was either used to get around, or it was put away at home.)

Just want to say that this doesn't seem like a silly question to me.

Ohh i see! I feel like you can just do it however feels comfortable to you. People will see it and realize I’m sure.
