There are a whole bunch of different reasons that people might want the Utah CFP.
Steve told us this one:

If for some silly reason we lose our ID's, we can break open the safe and keep right on a trucking...Till the replacement Texas CHL's come in...

Since you related to us that your wallet was recently stolen, with your CHL in it, I am surprised you didn't see the value in that.

Either way, let's try not to assume the worst about others.

buy 'em books, send 'em to school, and they just throw them away

I agree, Liberty. I will always show the Texas CHL, even if not carrying, because I know that a Texas DL check will show that I have one. Since I don't think the Utah CFP will show up on a Texas DL check, I advise to NOT show it if not carrying.

Charles,

I appreciate your careful consideration, and detailed answer.

I have advised all Utah students who don't have a Texas CHL to show the Utah license when asked by a LEO for ID. I have also advised those who have a Texas CHL AND a Utah CFP to NOT show the Utah license when asked for ID. No sense in muddying up the situation.

In addition, I have begun copying the Utah/Texas reciprocity agreement to give to all students, and advise them to carry it in their car in the event of any problems with an uninformed officer.

So far, I am not aware of any Utah CFP holders who have been stopped. I guess we will have to wait and see. And, as we know, the response will differ depending on the location, just as it does with the Texas CHL.
