Yes, I did. I did that when I set up my Bank of the West account too. But that's not how I found out about my banker's CHL. We first met at a BNI-type of networking group that I belong to (which he has since joined), and guns came up as a topic of conversation after one of the meetings one day. He owns an XD45c. But his pro-gun attitude did have something to do with my deciding to set up.RHenriksen wrote:Did you offer them a driver's license & CHL as the two forms of ID?

Carter's Country in Houston runs several free finance sales each year. The financing used to be through Wells Fargo until Wells Fargo notified them they would no longer finance guns.RHenriksen wrote:I moved all my accounts over to Wells Fargo the next week. They were happy to accept my CHL.
Does "showing" your CHL to anyone except a LEO (and only then if asked), in a way, "out" you? I think you should keep it (and your weapon) concealed.RHenriksen wrote:Chase refused to accept my CHL as a valid form of ID. I was a long time account holder, was trying to get a cashier's check cut for $6k. Escalated it up to the branch manager. They gave me all the usual runaround excuses, then finally said 'it's our policy'.
They were happy to take a VISA card as an alternate ID.
I moved all my accounts over to Wells Fargo the next week. They were happy to accept my CHL.

No reason to show it to anyone else unless it's a situation of last resort but even then, it's really no one else's business. 
RottenApple wrote:Chase (or any other bank, financial institution, company, etc) not accepting a CHL as a form of ID doesn't bother me in the least and, IMHO, has nothing to do with being anti-gun. According to TxDPS, a CHL is not a primary or secondary form of identification. It can, however, be used as "supporting identification".
So if the very agency that issues the CHL doesn't accept it as valid ID, how can we complain that private companies don't?

I cant stand Chase because of how difficult they make the most basic transaction for any non account holder
Just cashing a check at Chase is a HUGE pain. Stand in line at the teller - just to be told you have to "Talk " to a "Banker"
Then explain why you dont have an account, actively refuse the sale pitch and the personal questions. What should be a 2 min transaction turns into 20 min.
Looking for other options - preferably ones that have locations nation wide
If you came into my business and took up some of my resources, I'd also try to pitch you.92f-fan wrote:disappointed that BofA has taken this stance
