Re: Used CHL as a form of ID?
I really can't remember the last time I was asked for two forms of ID. I suppose if I was asked, I would probably use my CHL as the second form. I use Bank of America and they can be a pain, but they haven't asked me for two forms of ID. They have asked for my DL when I make a deposit, which I find a bit silly. I told them that if anyone wanted to deposit money into my checking account, please allow them to do it... no matter who it is.

Some people still use their CHL for ID so I'm just passing on information that DPS as recommended several times at instructor renewal classes.

Thanks for the info. I assume it was for the reasons in the second sentence of your post? They were basicly saying the CHL didn't count as ID?- Sun Mar 04, 2012 3:39 pm

You guessed it... I don't want to advertise that I am carrying a weapon.Dave2 wrote:What's the third reason?03Lightningrocks wrote:Not intentionally, but I have accidentally grabbed it from my wallet thinking it was my DL. Best I can remember, I have always caught myself before handing it over. I have two reasons for not wanting to show it to people asking for ID. One...

Not intentionally, but I have accidentally grabbed it from my wallet thinking it was my DL. Best I can remember, I have always caught myself before handing it over.

I keep my TX CHL on top of my DL to remind myself if stopped while driving to remember first and foremost to inform the officer.
I don't frequent bars or drink very often, but a few weeks ago I was with a friend when we were ID'ed (Note: I was NOT carrying) and mistakenly showed my top "ID".
I certainly got a weird look and a "oh, never seen one of those". I felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that the waitress must be wondering if I was drinking and carrying...
I practice the "concealed means concealed" mentality (again, I was NOT carrying, but same idea of keeping my CHL on the hush) and would rather NOT use it as an ID.
Just wondering if anyone else has had this experience?
