My first original was a thin piece of paper, no picture or nothing. when i moved to another town, i had to goto the police station to change my address. they took my permit, stuck it in a file, and gave me a new state ID style one with my picture and new address on it. and then when i bought a house in the same town, i had to go back and change my address on the card, so they gave me another card with the new address on it. i must say, it's nice, and it eases me to know that it's not going to rip or fall apart. the crappy part though is the pD has it tied to my registration. so when they run my plates in my town, it comes up that I'm a CCW. so even as a "non-must inform" state, they already know...... this usually goes into Q"Are you carrying? why didn't you tell me?", A "you obviously already know, and it isnt a must inform state".... lol
