No more thick wad of paper in my wallet, no more worrying that I was carrying the wrong license. Just one simple plastic card, sort of a redneck "One Ring to Rule Them All."

Hahahahahaha...awesome comparison.

The problem I see here in Kaliforniasan is that it would tip off over zealous LEO's looking for a Felony Arrest bonus point(s) on his or her career record probable cause for hooking you up on the side of the road and tossing your car. :(

I hate the fact that I've become such a cynic of this state that I would think of this problem first rather than the cool factor possibility of it. :mad:

I would like to try renting a car in NYC with a DL that has CCW on it. I bet the mayor finds a way to ban permit holders from driving.

Except all non-prohibited persons would have the endorsement on their DL. Imagine that. A CA DL is automatically an LTC unless it is imprinted "not valid for firearms carry" then the only people with that printed on their license would be those prohibited and those who choose to check a "not for firearms" box on their license aplication. How many people are anti-gun enough to have their license imprinted with wording that is generally associated with felons.

Think $ as well, it would cost less to issue a single ID which had all state license info on it CCL, hunting, fishing. $$ saved.

They could also charge you in advance for the fees - 3 year DL, 3 years of hunting, fishing, CCL all at once. Reduce the cost of issuing and probably get more people to pay up front - more predictable revenue stream, etc...

I can dream of an efficient government....

I got to live and work in Louisiana for 4 months this year, and I loved it. They rule.

Too bad it'll never happen, too many idiots who couldn't get/keep a job otherwise need those waste of space/money positions.
