there's ZERO "choke hold", bozo. I was here in CO for TWO FULL years, on "work permit' from ILL. All I had to do was send in a monthly report. The PO had no way at all to check ANYTHING, since I worked for my wife, and the assumption HAS to be that she'll lie for me,call me on cell phone, tell me to get back to the office, etc.
All ANY "ex felon" has to do, in order to be safe from gun-charges,is get a new ID, stay away from people who know him, et.c When was the last time ANYONE asked for YOUR ID, at a practice range or a match,hmm? I've NEVER been asked, and I doubt if ANYONE ever has. It's nobody else's business. It's VERY easy to just park the van a mile or so away, load up the gear onto the bike, take the bike to the range. It takes all of 10 seconds to remove the plate from the bike. Off the road, bike doesn't HAVE to have the plate. Just put it into your gun-gear case. Get out of sight, make sure nobody followed, replace the plate, ride to the van, go on home. That's the MOST effort or "security' you ever have to bother with.

At matches, or shows, LOTS of guys wear dark glasses, with side-plates, a hat, long hair,beard,mustache, long sideburns,etc.

U don't HAVE to hang around bsing with everyone, ya know.
