They may not be accepted as genuine, but it's better than nothing.

Man don't lose that phone. I'm sure it's password protected right? I'm not sure if I were a police officer I would take that as you having a license. A picture on a cell phone? For insurance I don't see a problem because it can be checked against your actual DL. Do the police departments have a policy on this? Is it acceptable? Hard to tell if a license has been altered when looking at it on a cell phone. Would be very easy for me to photoshop my picture onto your license.

If you were in your vehicle, would this be an issue at all? It's legal for non-licensed folks to have a concealed firearm. Also when they run your drivers license your CHL also shows up. I know a guy that got stopped and didn't tell the officer he had a CHL. He got a butt chewing and a warning on his traffic violation. But the law is the law. You are required to have it on you when carrying. I think it's all up to the police officers mood at the time. I carry mine behind my drivers license in my wallet. That way if I get stopped I can hand the officer both at the same. He'll know I could be carrying without me even saying the word, Gun!
