Every year there is a big carnival type event that goes on in my city, and I volunteer to help out there. One of my jobs is to check ID for people who want to buy alcoholic drinks. I've had people complain to me that some other ID checker wouldn't accept their out of state drivers license, military ID, or passport. I calmly explain that that particular ID checker was unfamiliar with those specific forms of identification, and probably doesn't know what anything besides a Michigan drivers license looks like. Since I know what they look like, I can tell if it's a real or fake ID right away.
With the Walmart employee who is the subject of the original topic, my guess is that he was told to only accept a valid drivers license. If that's the case, then he was merely doing his job as it was taught. If he was told he could accept other forms of valid government issued identification, then he's a lazy idiot.
I doubt that the kid was anti-gun or an imbecile, sounds like he/she is just doing their job, following orders from above their pay grade.
A lot of banks will not accept a carry permit either,even though it's issued by the state. Next time you're in a bank and they don't accept your permit, just lecture them like they're idiots for a few minutes and see if your service improves.
What did you show people who asked before you got a permit?
BTW, a fake ID is a criminal offense even as a joke and you sure as hell wouldn't walk out of there with ammo after that. IMHO

They card for all sorts of stuff, even some DVD's. Most just add some generic date and move on. Cause I'm well past looking like I'm18 and under.
