A while back, I travelled on business to Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. When I got to the front gate, my paperwork was messed up, so I ended up hassling with them for an hour before I finally got in.
In the process, I had shown my DL repeatedly and when I finally got in the car, I threw it on the seat and drove to the parking area for the building I was going to. The lot was full so I ended up parking in the overflow area half a mile (no exaggeration) away.
When I got to the front desk of the building, I had to go through security again, and they asked for a government issued photo id. At which point I realized that my DL was half a mile away on the front seat of the rental car. Since I was already an hour late to the meeting, I decided that I would go for it. I told the guy that I had left my DL in the car--then I pulled out my CHL and asked him if this was a suitable form of identification.
He laughed and said something about not seeing many of those in Ohio. He gave me a badge and signed me in.

Do you know about the TEXAS State Rifle Association?

I know it is really too much to hope for, but I would wish that it was because they then knew that you had undergone a background check much more detailed than everyone else walking through the door. That and I would put my money on them if you tried anything...GlockenHammer wrote:Secret Service didn't even bat an eye. I couldn't tell if they were too inept to look at anything except the picture and name or if they were so confident in their security that they needen't worry.
My CHL has never left my wallet.
