>> if you live in a state that issues CCW, do you have one? If yes, then your biometric data is already captured and on file <<
BULLPUCKY!!!
In VA here, CCW (aka CHP Concealed Handgun Permit) holder. I was not even finger printed when I applied (they do check NCIS database). Any biometrics could have been captured via all the security cams.
Long ago in VA, biometrics was instituted when you renew your drivers license. You are told not to smile and the pic is in B&W.
So yes, biometrics is old news.
While I don’t like it, nothing I can do about it. Stop bashing folks that resist it.
BTW, what was your MOS?
