Thanks HBP and Metalhead - just the info I was looking for. As for catching grief from officers, HBP, I have to admit that it wasn't the carrying I was worried about, but the driving.
This is stupid, but I was imagining driving home from a Mariner's game after two or three beers (still legally sober), and getting stopped for speeding. Would their records indicate I had a permit, and if so, would that give them cause to check me a little closer regarding a breathalizer? Meaning, they have more reasons to ask questions and work me a bit... I know - a stupid scenario that can be avoided simply by not drinking and driving, PERIOD. beathead

The more I think about it, the better that sounds. I'm sure I'm guilty of pushing the boundaries a time or two. Again, thanks for the input.

p.s. Idaho and montana have reciprocal arrangements - the two states I travel to most.
