When you are pulled over and the LEO runs your license plates or your drivers license in your state does it return information if you have a permit?
In SC I had heard that the CWP and Drivers license were tied together as they use the same picture, signature and everything. The only difference is the color of the bar at the top, it says Concealed Weapons Permit instead of Drivers License and has a different number. Since then I have been told by both a dispatcher and a po0liceman that there is no link between the CWP and drivers license or vehicle registration and cannot be looked up from either. I suppose that they could by using the name but would have to be a separate query.
How does you state handle it and do you know for sure? If it is linked to vehicle registration what good does it do if you are driving someone else's car?
