My only concern is if the phone were stolen, the thief knows where you live and that you have guns, and you can't call ahead.

But I'm wondering if there is some way to secure the photo, perhaps in another phone app.
For example, my GPS app lets me append photos to waypoints.

Of course, I think I've run off without my phone as often as I've forgotten my wallet :roll:

I use an Iphone which is locked with a 4 digit code. If the code is incorrectly entered 4 times the phone is locked until you go to "Mobileme" and unlock it through the web. In addition, if the phone is lost I can locate it via the web and also wipe all information off it. I also have a small sticker on the back with a picture of the bullet and the words written below it "If you think you can run faster than this, please help yourself to anything you like."

Ok kidding on the last one. I can see how phone unlocked with the pictures easily accessible could be a risk, but no more of a risk than losing your wallet.

Re: Never leave home without it.....

I am sure there is a wide scope of technological prowess on this forum, but for those of you that have a camera phone, the best photo you can ever keep with you is a picture of your license and CHL. I have only had the opportunity to present this way once while boating, but in addition to giving the officer a chuckle, he was able to surmise the information he needed quickly so that we could both get on our way. Is it a replacement for carrying ID….of course not. Is it a reasonable back up….I think so.
