    wonder what's behind this change.

    No idea. I wonder if it costs them more to add the photo, or some other practical reason.


    I always hoped that if we were going to be stuck with the HQL, that would could one day see it become a Wear and Carry Permit (WCP). Just say, ok, everyone with a HQL, we will consider it a WCP until you get it updated; from now on, we will be issuing WCP's to those that qualify for the HQL. But that didn't happen.

    i don't know if pulling your DMV photo and printing it is more expensive than not. maybe they bought a cheaper printer that doesn't do photographs.

    Fred's explanation makes more sense though.

    I am sure the argument can be made that the HQL is a government issued photo-id.

    Of course, because they are. Gotta wonder if someone didn't like that.


    Then again, the timing does coincide with the MVA's new licenses. Wonder if maybe MSP cannot get the photos from them any longer and don't want to take them themselves.
