I.D. AT A BANK

when cashing a check at a bank, the teller asks for two forms of id (license and credit card) my question is what do they do with the credit card? do they run the numbers?

Maybe to ensure the ID isnt fake? Obtaining a fake ID is one thing, but obtaining a line of credit with a fake ID is a whole different story. My theroy is that they are matching up the names on the CC with the ID. Just my $0.02.

but they wont accept a firearms permit. i use a credit card that the account has been closed for three years just in case they write the numbers down.

Hmm, Im sure someone will chime in and know what they are talking about because I sure as hell dont. Would they only accept a CC as a 2nd forum of ID? A CCW permit maybe unusual to some people and not on the list of acceptable forms of ID. Maybe they were just sticking to the company policy.
