Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire US Bank says my Tn conceal carry is not acceptable ID

A Concealed Carry Permit is a state issued picture ID and should be acceptable anywhere a picture ID is required. I have used mine as such several times in South Carolina with no problems. The bank employee in question was probably not properly trained to know what was acceptable and what was not acceptable.

Funny throw back, and this was about a year before 9-11.


We went to the Nassau on a 2-day quickie cruise. In a rush of parking the rental and getting going, left my wallet in the car with DL. Only needed ‘tickets’ to get on the boat then. Even then it didn’t hit that my billfold was still not with me.

Realized after we had already left the shore.

Getting back through US Customs, LOL. The only photo ID I had was a tag on my shoulder bag. Fairways of Palm-Aire Pompano Beach golf resort dunk guy photo tag all I had.

Guy at Customs asks ‘where do you live, I told him Tn. He says cool I’m from Jackson Tn. Ok. Come on thru, have a safe trip home.

Yeah, but pretty soon, you may need no ID to vote anywhere. So, I'm sure the left will use the same standards for carrying without ID, right?

States issue non-Drivers ID cards.

I agree with you on the requirements being greater for concealed carry permits vs drivers license. It’s above my pay grade to get to make the lists of accepted ID (honestly I’m pretty sure it’s like Homeland Security who provides financial institutions “guidance” on this stuff) but my guess is that everyone has a drivers license or state issued non-drivers ID card or passport and they’re easy to recognize as legit or not.

Can’t say as I agree with every jot and tittle of policy and the institution where I work grants leeway to people in my position to make exceptions as far as negotiating checks or withdrawals.

Come in to open an account with a non-accepted primary ID and that’s gonna be a problem I can’t get around. USA PATRIOT Act says so; money laundering for terrorists and drug dealers they say. It’s for your own good dontcha know.

And all that...

It may be an issue for some banks but keep in mind tellers don’t make much money and this is a highly regulated industry where procedures matter greatly. A guy can lose his job for not going to the proper lengths to verify you’re you... especially if you complain (people complain about us NOT asking for ID as much or more than about us asking) or worse yet it turns out that guy isn’t you. They’re trying to protect their job, your money, and the bank from liability.

In big banks the manager might very well not care, but In smallish community banks like the one I work for if you ask to see the manager and politely explain your situation exceptions can be made.

I gotta guess most people wouldn’t appreciate a police officer coming into their place of business and bullying their entry level employees to break policy.

That’d really piss me off.

slumlordski,

top of the mornin' to you, well, middle of the morning here.

You think that's bad? Shortly after 9-11 I tried to fly out of PHX on a business trip. My 'business" at the time required I have a .Gov Federal ID, one in which the FBI goes around and asks your neighbors and friends about you on top of the usual records checks to see if you got caught peeping windows as a high school student.

Long story short, gal at the counter asks for ID. I show the Gooberment ID. "No sir, I need to see a drivers license" . I asked if she knew what the photo ID I presented her was, and told her they issue driver's licenses to Illegal Aliens for pete's sake.

"Sorry sir, we have to see a driver's license"

If I wasn't aware of it before then, I knew we were in trouble then.

Got them beans planted yet? Peas at least?

Too cold, hard frost this morning.
April 20 is usually ‘safe’

I worked with a guy who had no driver's license. Had it revoked and he carried a state issued ID that they issued him in the meantime .

I have never tried to use mine as an ID card, never occurred to me. I have always thought "concealed carry" meant "concealed carry" meaning nobody knows you carry, that should include not revealing you carry by showing your CCW. JMHO.

I read through this whole post and glad that I did. In many states, the CCW doesn't have the owners birth date or legal address on it so it isn't recognized as ID. I see that the TN version does, so I don't know why it isn't accepted.

If anyone thinks that one ID should be as good as or as accepted as another, how would you like one over-riding ID issued with all of it's info put on a mandatory injected RFID chip?

Frontline bank employees are not security specialists, and are generally not trained or equipped to function as one.

Seek access to a truly secured facility and you'll meet security specialists. In the course of their verification of your identification, they'll likely be made aware that you have a concealed carry permit, or license. Try to show that permit or license in lieu of proper ID and you will likely find yourself in another level of scrutiny. Why does this person not have normal ID?

I've never tired using my Kentucky CC permit as a form of ID. About all it's good for is a pass on the NICS check at a Kentucky gun store. Some Walmarts accept it, and some don't, which I find odd, everyone else has always accepted it.

Looking on that list of bank accepted I.D.'s, it says foreign drivers licenses are acceptable... do you think if you got a forged DL from Eritrea or Guyana, that the average bank teller would know it was forged? Convincing fake I.D.'s are available at flea markets, thats where all the illegals get them. It just shows how rediculous the bank is being.

Slum,

You shoulda went all WillieCD on them.

Ranting about you own farms in 4 counties.
A pet tiger.
An airplane.
And a house in orange beach.

That’s a good point that I hadn’t caught.

We have a guidebook on US driver’s licenses and don’t take foreign drivers licenses; if you’re in from outside the country you have a passport and we take those.

I guess if the bank is assuming the responsibility for taking care of your money, they can make the rules regarding what they accept as security for the purpose of letting go of some of that money.

I went to the Local Commie Socialist Bank of America to cash a big check one of their customers had payed me with several years ago.
Snooty little bitch asked me for a second form of ID in order to cash it. She just about schitt her britches when I handed her my TX CHL. She called her branch Mgr over, and he made her cash it.

All the ID i need at the food bank is muh legtric birl

Same chit turned sideways. All the same information, same pic, same state issuing both. There's no valid reason one should need to show proof of automobile driving proficiency in order to do business in a bank.

I don’t do a lot banking at this US Bank and at other banks when I’ve been asked for that coveted “2nd form of ID” I have shown the Tn Handgun permit, it works fine as a second form I ID. Imagine that.

Other second forms I’ve used were student university ID which is 17 years old, still get me 10% off at the Shoneys breakfast

And my city govt badge, (I’ve actually used that one before as a primary, just experimenting.) it was good enough for them. It’s a half-asses mickey mouse of a thing as far as ID goes it says Analyst on it, not Joe Pothead. lol

Wacky stuff. Just observations.
Life is good.
