Same thing when buying liquor one time... i wanted to kick the clerk in the ballsI was trying to get a PO box at the post office and apparently my LTC was not an acceptable form of ID (required two ID). I asked why because it has my picture and Address which matches my drivers license. He told me because it doesn't prove my residence? And I asked how does a passport, which does not have your current address prove my residence because that's an acceptable form of ID on the PO box form.
The funny part is that he accepted my vehicle registration which isn't even in my name!
Glad I didn't try trolling them at my Global Entry interview.LTCs are specifically on the TSA 'no go' lists. ...
It is not a judgement about what a legit applicant has to do to get it, but rather about the ability of the person accepting the being able to (a) Verify is indeed the person it was issued to and (b) known steps were taken to verify the identity before issuance.I just don't think people asking for ID understand what people have to go through to get a LTC.

I used my FID as a second form of ID three times in my entire life and two were for mortgage applications involving a substantial amount of money. Never had an issue. One of the mortgage officers never saw one before and she asked if I was a firearms dealer. I told her it was simply a permit to possess a rifle or shotgun in MA. Dealer license is entirety different and much more difficult to obtain.It is not a judgement about what a legit applicant has to do to get it, but rather about the ability of the person accepting the being able to (a) Verify is indeed the person it was issued to and (b) known steps were taken to verify the identity before issuance.
My bank did not give a crap about what is and what is not a state ID they had a list of IDs THEY had a list of IDs they accepted and LTC was not one of themIt may be that they are provided a list of acceptable ID's by the higher-ups.
If its not on the list, then they may not accept it. I know that is the case with some banks.
I did this as well at a MA RMV. The clerk working there was from NH and was quite comfortable taking the ltc.Used my Ltc for real id drivers license last week. No worries. so I am missing something. used my Ltc as a core document for my real I’d that it allows me to fly…..but can’t use it as proof of identity?
BOA sucks.

Armless Man Is Still Armed -
This is some fancy footwork. Bubba Stevenson was born without arms. Yet that does not dissuade him at all. He participated in a local IDPA match. Ken Cash posted up this video. I wanted to share this with the blue bullet shooters. This is Bubba Stevenson. He came to our IDPA practice tonight. He...www.thefirearmblog.com
Bubba Stevenson, (second link), shot a sanctioned IDPA match at my local club. I SO'd him on the stage I was working, and it was simply incredible to watch him shoot. We made accomodations for him, placing chairs at the shooting positions.
Similar to the "bumper stickers" on personal vehicles. You can telegraph an awful lot of personal info about your life/family, and you don't know who will take advantage of that intel.Using an LTC for ID is like positioning any of your carry permits in your wallet so anyone behind you in line a the supermarket can see it. I use my driving license when asked if my papers are in order, and my gun permits are buried in a discrete location in my wallet.
I am familiar with one situation in NY when there was some "extra interaction" because a NYSP officer noticed the edge of a carry permit when a driver produced his license. Get lost in a crowd of one or stand out like a turd in a punchbowl - your choice.
Years ago, a few of us were carpooling to a match in (I think) PA but transiting enemy territory (NJ). The rules the passenger imposed on the driver was "remove the NRA decal from the window and nobody wears a shooting shirt while transiting NJ". The only time I had to produce my permit on demand that was unanticipated was when my car wsa broken down in 128 and the responding MSP officer saw a gun club logo on my T shirt.Similar to the "bumper stickers" on personal vehicles.

Years ago, while attending graduate school (MBA) at UMass-Lowell, I stopped at Wendy's on route 38 after work for a chicken sandwich while I was on my way to class. A dodgy character noticed the NRA sticker on the back window of my pickup truck's cap and approached. He was with some white supremacist group and handed me papers advocating a race war and other nonsense. I handed them back, told him I wasn't interested and went on my way. When I got home from class later that night, I used a utility knife blade to scrape off that sticker. Never again. No more stickers of any kind on my truck.Years ago, a few of us were carpooling to a match in (I think) PA but transiting enemy territory (NJ).

Even easier would be to add a line to the driver's license. One less card in your wallet.I don't know why they don't use the same system as the driver's license system. It's not like the printing of the purpose of the license couldn't be changed to suit an LTC/FID/hunting/fishing/hairdressing/complaining/whatever license.
Just more bureaucracy silliness.
You write that like "easier" is some kind of goal or something.Even easier would be to add a line to the driver's license. One less card in your wallet.
The DL is supposed to do one thing: serve as evidence that you've passed the requirements to be a licensed driver.Even easier would be to add a line to the driver's license. One less card in your wallet.

Now people want it to be an internal passport, serving as ID, and "just adding a line..." to show citizenship or immigration status, veteran status, etc.
No thanks. I won't even get a Real-ID compliant DL.
The gun owners club, BRUH!Would love to see a Social Club where you can only get in WITH an LTC...
Not everyone wishes to identify themselves as a gun owner to every person they have to show their driver's license to.The LTC is supposed to do one thing: serve as evidence that you've passed the requirements to be a licensed gun owner.
Is it so hard to ask and to understand that one card could have printed information showing that requirements for more than one license has been met? You've already succumbed to the licensing and proof part of it for both licenses, why not make it simpler for the recipient and everyone else involved and show both licenses on one card?
Let's say your driving license gets revoked for some paperwork screwup and Officer Friendly is on your doorstep demanding your license. Do you want to lose your LTC too? (Or the other way around.) Think about all the ways of getting screwed if it's Officer Not-Friendly on your doorstep.Is it so hard to ask and to understand that one card could have printed information showing that requirements for more than one license has been met?
