Can you use your LTCF as a valid form of Photo ID?

[uniballin]

I was filling out some forms for work that required my driver license number and forgot to put my license back into my wallet. Later that night, I went to a house party with my sister and her roommate. On the way there, I stopped off at the corner store to buy a 6-pack and I realized that I didn't have my license on me. When the clerk asked for my photo ID, I gave him my LCTF. He seriously spent a good minute looking at it, then asked me "what is this?" I told him it was a license to carry firearms and it has my photo and DOB on it. He then reluctantly sold me my 6-pack of Blue Moon and I went on my merry way.

For future reference, If I'm ever at a bank or liquor store and for some reason I don't have my license on me, is the LTCF a valid photo ID?

Sorry if this has been covered here before.

YES....!You absolutely can use the LTCF as a secondary ID, I have used mine as a primary at least twice.

It is a Govenment issued picture ID, so I would say yes it is.
I have never heard any requirement except a Govenment issued picture ID.
That said I was refused purchace of a 12 pack in college, because the clerk wouldn't accept my passport for ID because "It isn't a state issued drivers license" LOL

My fiancee uses hers sometimes just to screw with people.

PNC bank will not accept it.
They will accept your vehicle reg. card, though???????

Haha. On a related note, if you show your LTCF at a bank, do you think they may take it the wrong way and see the action as a "threat"? My girlfriend was convinced that could happen and that it's a bad idea to show your LCTF unless its to a LEO.

Q: Is my PA License to Carry Firearms considered a valid government issued identification?

A: Yes. Many places will accept Licenses to Carry Firearms as a second form of identification or even a primary form of identification. However, some people who still have the older style Licenses without a photo may have some problems. Even though it is still a valid form of identification, without a photo, some places may have a problem with accepting the License as an identification. If by chance you would present your License as a second form of photo identification and the person or place states that they cannot accept it, have them call our Office and we will verify that your License is indeed a valid form of identification.

I have on a few occasions. So far, not even an odd look. The only time I was ever asked for the driver's license (rather then the LTCF) was because the form being filled out required a driver's license number.

I used mine as a 2nd form of i.d. with my DL when i took a civil service test. Mine was issued without a photo but says "valid without photo"

I once used my DD form 2 and my LTCF just to see If I could get a rise out of the asking party. I got a confused look then it was accepted.
