I don't know if this is the right forum, but if need, it can be moved.
About a week or so ago I was purchasing some merchandise using my Visa CC. The clerk asked for ID and as I was looking for my DL I decided to instead show my Utah Concealed Firearm Permit ID. It has my picture on it as most gov't issued ID cards do. The clerk looked at it quickly and handed it back approving the sale. Hmm, I thought I wonder if the clerk really knew what kind of ID it was? So later the same day I did the same thing again, using the CFP and again, no problem. I used it a few days later at a large store purchasing a higher priced item. Again, no problem. Finally, on the fourth or so purchase I asked the clerk, "do you know what kind of ID is this?" handing the card back. She looked at it again, trying to see what might be odd about it and handed it back saying something like, "huh?"
I explained what it was and she just kinda shrugged her shoulders saying, "a gun ID?" "It's a permit allowing me to have a concealed gun on me" I said.
She still didn't get it. Now, I have a feeling the other clerks before her never even read what it said on the card, they were just satisfied that it had my picture on it.
I think the reactions by the clerks are mainly due to most being young people and have no idea what a CCW card is. That's California for you.:banghead:
