CCW rejected for valid ID

[TexasRifleman]

The CHL was issued for one purpose, dude, not to show off. Nope, I haven't had a similar experience, and I suggest you cease to use your CHL permit as a form of identification.

Your tin foil must be rusting.........

The CHL was issued for one thing? So you don't use your CHL to satisfy the NICS requirements? That would certainly be misuse of a government issued card that is only for the purpose of carrying a handgun concealed.

Yes, we should all be ashamed for using the CHL for any purpose other than that intended.

Since you follow that logic, what do you use to ID yourself if asked, to cash a check or buy a 6 pack? You certainly can't use your drivers license, because that's only for driving.

You carry your passport around? Hope you don't lose it, those are a pain to replace.

In Texas, CHL is not supposed to be used as an official ID.

Quote me statues there bud, I think you made that one up.
I'm gonna raise the BS flag til you can show some documentation for that one.....

I'll help you out, go read Texas GC 411.
I'll help you out some more, you won't find what you are saying there, or anywhere.

Gun stores here in Virginia consider conceal carry permits as another form of ID when a gun purchase is made.

Hey carl, can you send me the text of the law that you state.

The law you cite replaced the last version I had copied, so never mind.

If that was the case I could not carry into my local gas station.

Hey, before the law was changed, even off duty police could not carry
into a convenience store that sold both gas and off-premises alcohol!
Cops were having to leave their guns in their cruisers and walk into
the stores with empty holsters. The clerks were not happy: cops
with empty holsters do not deter robberies! It WAS the case you
could not carry into your local gas station. It is not now, but it was.

The newspapers made a big stink when it was proposed to remove
the off-premises alcohol restriction, and apparently did not consider
the result of the proposal to be newsworthy. The law was changed in
steps: no carry if any off-premises alcohol sales; then, no carry if
off-premises alcohol over 5 percent by volume; now, carry if
off-premises and no carry only if on-premises consumption.

CC Permit is not on the PA list of approved ID's.

I wouldn't accept it either, if my job was on the line.

Ok Cool. I like to stay up-to-date on things. dang!! cops in gas stations with no guns

 

[Sylvilagus Aquaticus]

I use my Texas CHL for ID very infrequently. I usually only do it when I don't want people to know I have a Sam's Club card wih my likeness on it.

In fact, the only place I've ever used my CHL as a second form of ID is in job interviews (for I-9 forms and the like), airports, and at banks. Never caused me any trouble.

Rabbit.

When was this?

I find it hard to believe that an uniformed officer would leave his service piece in the scout and enter a C-store unarmed.

I call BS on this.

I have an Ohio CCW. I went to the shooting range once and forgot my license there in haste to leave because they were closing. Later that night I tried to get into a bar, realized I didn't have my license, and tried using the CCW. They would not accept it because they couldn't look it up in their book of the 50 states' driver's license examples to ensure it's not a fake. I had to go home and get my passport.

It's funny, though, because just recently I got a speeding ticket in MI and had to give the officer my license because I'm an OH resident. They ensure that I pay my fine this way. They held it until I mailed my money. In the meantime, the ticket was my ID. I used it half a dozen times to get into bars with no problems. Now that I have my license back I should sell the ticket to some minor lol.

Like a few above the wife got her Tex. CHL in front one time & handed it to a young checker for ID. She took the DL # off it & began asking about the cost because at that time she thought it was too much. I explained the fees had recently been reduced but then reminded her of the Wal-Mart kidnapping, rape, & murder & asked her what her life & honor were worth. She said, You're right. I don't know if she ever followed it up or not. Only experience w/ it has been good here. I know it is different in some places.

Used mine to get on a plane!

PA is similar to other states in that our permit is a photo card similar to our driver's licenses but definitely different. (No chance of mistaking one for the other.) I had occasion last year to fly out of Philly International Airport. My driver's license was in my gym bag. At the time my gym required photo ID along with their credit-card style membership card and I had left them together in my gym bag rather than putting them back in my wallet. (They have since gone to photo member cards.) Anyway I realized in the airport parking lot what I had done and it was too late to do anything else but proceed. The security screener accepted it and only asked (kind of matter-of-factly) if I had checked a gun in my baggage. I didn't expect too big a deal and got even less than I expected.

I remember years back when we were asked for ID. We had all kinds of ID, CCW,Gov't high level security badges etc .They would only accept a drivers license even though in those days there was no photo on it and the drivers license was the most commonly counterfited document !
