After going through those old threads I was reminded that the CHL lines are the employee lines. The employee swipes or gets their "badge" swiped and we get our CHL swiped to verify validity. No one has said they were made to prove they were carrying. Only asked.

So, I suspect that these folks going through the background check will get some other type of ID that will also get swiped. I'm okay with that. The funny part will be that folks going through the regular line will think there's even more people "strapped" in there than there actually is.

Interesting. So, they pay some money and don't get a license. I'm okay with that.

Now, for those that have been to the capital and through this other line. Did they verify that you actually have a weapon? I think I remember one or two people saying that they did ask if you were actually carrying in order to go through that line. And did going through this other line keep them from searching any other bags or purses? I have not been to the capital yet and don't know what the normal security check does. I'm just wondering because someone could go through this line after paying less than what most folks would pay for their CHL and be carrying a handgun illegally into the capital.
