This was in Kansas today.
I don't think I've been asked in the past.
Seemed odd to me wondering if this is a standard question?

Here in N.C. they asked me to provide a copy of my DD-214, saying they had forgotten to get it when I initially applied 5 yrs ago. Weird that they would ask for it now. No discount, though.

That's good to know and odd as well. I will be renewing mine later this fall. I'll make sure I have a copy of my DD-214 available.
 
Standard in N.C. Probably looking to see if dishonorable discharge.
 
We pay $50 for 8 years renewal. Just recently they changed lifetime license from $300 to $200 , renewable at anytime. At $200, and I'm 65 now, I would only have to live 32 more years to break even. Don't think I got that much tread left on me to make it pay. THP handles carry license now, and renewal is as easy as Drivers License renewal.
 
I think he said he was renewing his CHP. I think they would have asked for that when he first applied.
I was renewing mine this year too when they first asked for it.
I had already filled out the renewal paperwork and paid my fee. About 2 weeks ahead of my then current CCP expiring, I received a notification in the mail from the Sheriff's Dept. stating that they needed my Army discharge papers (I had checked "prior military service" on my original CCP application back when I first got it but they never asked for any paperwork at that time).
The stuff I sent them must have satisfied them because they issued my renewal about 5 days before my CCP expired.

Makes me wonder why they are asking. As one stated, looking for a dishonorable discharge?. DD214 will tell if you have been deployed to a war zone. First thoughts were PTSD?

Just seems funny to me.
 
Slightly off thread but browsing in a LGS a few weeks ago they had a stack of Fed forms and I noticed some new categories at the bottom asking questions and having check blocks that you had to fill in N/A, Yes or No...

I noticed the revision date was October 2016. I haven't bought anything lately but am wondering what's with these "new" questions:

Big Brother wanting more to stuff in their database?

Santa "makin his list and checking it twice"?

Some clerk somewhere playing with Word fonts and finding extra space at the bottom?

Keep paper plants running?

As the old radio show ended: Only the government (Shadow) knows!
 
I live in Maine where it's legal to carry concealed without a permit. Although many peeps get a permit thinking it makes them more legal I guess. If one applies for permit, it is $35 for two years in the city I live in, training is required unless prior LEO, not sure about military though. No discounts. The process I believe was just to discourage any casual person from applying for a concealed permit. It took several tries for the permitless concealed carry to finally be passed last year. Despite huge concern of peeps going wild and crazy, and an upswing in murders with firearms predicted, it never happened.
