I shouldn't be surprised by this, but I did get a chuckle out of it. I went to a portrait studio today to get some passport-quality pictures taken for my CFP renewal, and the woman working there was chit-chatting and asked me whether the pictures were for an actual passport or for a concealed firearm permit. She looked disappointed when I told her it was for the latter, and said she always expects to hear about the wonderful places people are planning on traveling to, but apparently the overwhelming majority of passport-picture customers go there for the same purpose as me. :D

I've heard Utah has one of the highest concealed firearms permits in the states. I wonder why?
