Re: Second ID form

Since I'm an American citizen born abroad, I get asked more and more for my proof of citizenship whenever I do ANYTHING. It's gotten to the point where, when I know I'm going to need to prove identity AND citizenship, I just show my passport instead of my driver's license. I've actually contemplated getting a passport card for this reason.

But, a CHL is only granted to US citizens anyway, right? So it proves citizenship by itself, theoretically.

(Sometimes I'm reminded of the old German WWII movies ... "Hver are yourh paperz?")
Same with a voter's registration card .... use your TDL and the voter registration card, if you don't have one, get one, they are FREE.

Due to the situation at the last gun show where the illegal alien, possibly working with/for the government, had been issued a TDL, I advise people to carry their voter registration card to prove citizenship/not a convicted felon; along with a TDL for proof of age, especially if they do not have a CHL and want to buy a gun..... In other situations it's a good second ID, without showing your CHL.
