I like to obey the laws considering I was wearing bball shorts and a slim t shirt and was with my 6 year old son I don't think they questioned if I was carrying.

This reminds me, when does The Walking Dead premier?

They shouldn't question it, by definition you are one of a class of the most law abiding citizens and, for now at least, it is against the law.

Technically it wasn't expired, I either threw the wrong one away or the house ate it. It was the $10.00 replacement fee.

This tickled me. I went to the bank today to take out my two weeks' budget in cash. As is routine I was asked for a picture I.D. I pulled out my license and he noted it had expired (I had renewed it and either never received the new one or the house ate it) and asked if I had a current I.D.
I got the impression that he was fairly new or the DL would have done it. So I said' "Sure, here's my CHL." He had that momentary RCA puppy look and then decided to check the "list" of approved I.D.'s I stood there with a bemused look as he flitted from one list to another mumbling, "It has to be on one of these." He finally signaled his supervisor and she came out. He showed her the card and said he couldn't find it on the list.

She kind of smirked and asked, "What does this say?" She was patient in tone as she pointed to the list.

"Drivers License, military and state/government issued I.D."

She asked, "What's this across the top here?"

He started, "Texas Department of...oh, state issued."

She nodded, smiled at me and returned to her office. I had to chuckle. I have to admire the way she took the opportunity to exploit a teaching moment.
