Things are fairly quiet these days, here's one we can toss around:
Here's a very specific question I've had for some time now. The Virginia CHP law (linked here for your reference) specifically says that you must "have such permit on his person at all times during which he is carrying a concealed handgun". It also says that you must present the CHP "and a photo-identification ... upon demand by a law-enforcement officer."
Obviously this double ID is required because Virginia spends all of about 3/4 of a penny to produce their CHP permits, with no photo of the holder embedded into the permit itself.
So here's the question, and please note it is worded very specifically:
If one holds a Utah permit, (or any other state's permit which contains a photo of the permit holder), is one required to also carry on their person while carrying a concealed handgun, a second photo-id?
I linked the entire statute above, but for easier reference, the seemingly pertinent paragraph H is quoted here:
After carefully reading the statute, I have an opinion, but I will hold off on sharing it until others have had a chance to weigh in.

I'm interested in your thoughts, and especially if anyone knows of cases or incidents where this has come into question.H. The permit to carry a concealed handgun shall specify only the following information: name, address, date of birth, gender, height, weight, color of hair, color of eyes, and signature of the permittee; the signature of the judge issuing the permit, or of the clerk of court who has been authorized to sign such permits by the issuing judge; the date of issuance; and the expiration date. The permit to carry a concealed handgun shall be no larger than two inches wide by three and one-fourth inches long and shall be of a uniform style prescribed by the Department of State Police. The person issued the permit shall have such permit on his person at all times during which he is carrying a concealed handgun and shall display the permit and a photo-identification issued by a government agency of the Commonwealth or by the United States Department of Defense or United States State Department (passport) upon demand by a law-enforcement officer.
