A few months back, I took a concealed weapons class to get my permit. I know…this may be disturbing on many levels to those that know me. But…I did pass the background check.
I was so excited to get my card. When it arrived in the mail, I thought to myself…”Wow, just post a number across my chest and this would look like a mug shot”. The class started at 8:00 a.m. and I didn’t sleep good the night before. When we were told we would take our pictures first thing I was as excited as having an ice pick shoved under a toenail. Make that under my broken toe’s nail.
I seriously looked like I was on something. It was a horrible picture and they didn’t spend anything on the camera or lighting to help with the pic. By far worse than the infamous driver’s license photo.
I remember thinking when I got it how much it looked like my driver’s license in size, shape and even looks. Many times I almost pulled it out of my wallet instead of my DL.
Well…for the awkward moment. My sons had to cash a check at the bank and because they were minors, I need to come in and show I.D. I got out driver’s license and laid it down only to see it was my CWP ID after getting an odd look from the teller.
Now, all of a sudden many thoughts ran through my head after the odd look. The thought occurred that here I was in a bank showing the teller that I could possibly be packing heat. Which I wasn’t at the time. This bank had been robbed before, so you never know what someone is thinking that works there.
When I looked at her face and realized what I had done, I quickly said, “Oooops” and got out the DL.
I have a very active imagination and was seriously hoping that I got out of the bank without incident. What a stupid thing to do.
