03 Sorry for the hijack. I promise not to continue.03Lightningrocks wrote:O b , your comment about too many cowboys and what ever in texas kind of sounds like you are saying that anyone who uses their CHL in place of a DL is doing it to show off. If that is what you meant, it really isn't necessarily true. I have used mine by accident before. It looks like my DL. I am certainly no show off. I used it as a second ID when a second was requested.
Anyway... The thread is suppose to be so we can see who helped pioneer the way in CHL's.I said it that way in reference to the cowboy thing...LOL.
The only subject allowed on this thread besides who was first is the high price of bacon.

Snide isnt the word I would use for the comment I made, your choice of course
Of course when I buy a gun I show it to the clerk..
But no when I am cashing a check. What were you doing when you got the comment, ??? most clerks at gun stores have seen it 100s of times so it would be nothing new to them . But clerks at 7/11, McDonalds, Stripes probaly never.
I will stick with my comment about wannabes and cow BOYS. I hope that isnt snide . It's just me.
o b juan,
Since you were replying to my post, I took the "wanna be" comment to mean I was a "wanna be". If that was not your intent, then no offense taken.
Yes, gun store employees have seen thousands of CHLs. However, a couple have found the repeating zero followed by a number to be unusual. Considering, I know my license has to be one of the earliest issued, I do not understand why it has 8 digits.
My apology to the orginal OP if this seem off topic.

You use the Texas CHL for ID?
That should be a No NO If you think about it a little !!
A guy in my class was coming back nfrom a convention in the Commie state of calif. and used his TX CHL for ID at theairport in LA.. His wife came home and he caught another flight 8 hours later.
The hand gun must remained concealed at all times, If you show the The chl you have just informed the person
that you possibly have a gun on you, even if it is @ home.
( is that a violation I dont know but no one except Law enforcement will ever see mine; students in my class see it so they know what it looks like)
Some folks are wannna bes and we have a lot here in Texas.
Like most people with a license, I always use my CHL when purchaseing a firearm. Do you not use yours for firearm puchases? It is not illegal to show your license, otherwise, I agree, it is not the best of ideas.
As to your other comment about "wanna bes". I take that as a snide remark and find it offensive.

Re: Were you one of the first?
I have my paper work from the first class. I completed the class on OCT. 1,1995. The class was taught by a Brazoria County Deputy. The course was presented over a 2 day time frame, 5 hours each day. I mailed everything in immediately. I'm not sure when the license arrived, however I don't recall it taking long. My license was for 2 years. What I have never understood is, although my license was part of the first one's issued, it has 8 digits. Of those 8 digits, 4 digits are zeros, license number is 0#0#0#0#. I always thought that was unique. When presenting it for a purchase, several people have commented on the unusal number.
