I show my PAL/RPAL to everyone , even people not connected to the firearm industry , when I buy anything . Mostly confuses people . Hey its picture ID , then I get into arguments as its not valid photo ID and on and on Of course I'm retired , got plenty of time on my hands and enjoy messing with people . Your in a gunshop : show them your PAL , who cares . As for young, uninformed , female sales people , hit on them , then show them your PAL !
