Not just about that, either.

Your comment made me curious, so I took a look at my D/L and CHL. My D/L has no weight on it, but the CHL does. You might be onto something.

They don't want anyone to just how bad they lied about their weight.

A clerk? Ahahahahahah!

What are they going to say? "285!? You've gotta be 350 at least!"

I'm off by 20 lbs at the moment myself. I've lost about 300 lbs in the last few years. Unfortunately, it was the same 10 lbs over and over.

I still don't find any "very personal information" on my CHLs and I have several of them.

My CA permit, now expired, contains the make, model and serial numbers of 3 of my pistols, well, pistols I owned and carried at the time.

They have my address, height, weight and a photo, in the case of the Texas permit, right off my D/L, my D/L number, but nothing that wouldn't be revealed to a mere clerk if I was asked for ID when making a credit card purchase.

This reminds me of the childish resistance to checking receipts at the door, like at Costco, or Walmart sometimes. To hear the howling, you would have thought they were requiring a strip search.

C'mon, men!

I hope we are not descending into the socialist madhouse of "you can't do anything which isn't required."

Maybe the local stop and rob isn't requesting OC'ers to show licenses. Most of those are one big room, limited product line operations. They get little attention unless there is a problem, like selling beer to minors. Then, there is a problem!

Walmart is not, and the threat of losing all of its licenses, or having them suspended through inadvertence, is a prospect they wish to actively avoid. They are under constant scrutiny, subjected to all manner of set ups, scams and stings by the legions of Walmart haters both goverment and private busybodies. Walmart may have more lawyers handling phony "slip and fall" incidents than the Attorney General has lawyers working for it.
