How to protect your LTCH permit

[Lilboy1023]

I have a question about what everyone does to protect your permit in your wallets. Years ago before the lifetime permits it used to state on them that you could not laminate them. Mine after the 4 years was really tattered and worn.

Now I have the lifetime permit and love it. I went to a office supply store and got a cheap lamination done on it and it has worked for a year or so and now is coming undone. What is out there or what do you use to keep them intact.

Sorry if this in the wrong place for this discussion.

Thanks for reading and helping a noob out.

I heard it works well on your LICENCE also.

I use the inexpensive laminating , double stick kits available at WalMart. Has worked for me the last 2 times.

The heavy duty lamination packets seem to work the best. Kinkos/Fedex will do it for you if you need them to.

Thanks I needed the kick in the butt!!!

Maybe it was a **** job. Will have to get the double stick ones that were mentioned.

Thanks jcwit for the idea.

Make a copy on pink paper, laminate it and keep the original in the safe? That's what I did.

Also I THINK that now you dont even need to carry it on you to legally carry, so you could leave it in the safe.

Some maybe know that for sure.Im not a lawyer.

Scanned it, cut it, laminated it.

You can order a copy from the State, they charge for it, but it was not as much trouble as starting again.

Make copies - lots.

I hear it works on LICENSES, too.

I am too chicken to even try that. Knowing my luck you would need to have it and I wouldn't on even a simple stop for speeding. I do have a little bit of a lead foot and hard to control it.

I hadn't thought about making copies either. Thanks for that idea also.

Even if this is legal, my guess is, most cops will still try to take the handgun since you don't have it on you.

I like the idea of copying it to pink paper and laminating that. With a scanner and a little photoshop or gimp work you could fill the whole page with copies and get them laminated so you can grab an extra anytime.
