[NAGDU] Service dog license

[Buddy Brannan]

No absolutely period amen not. OK, you have to show your ID to buy alcohol, cigarettes, or cash a check. Would you like to show an ID for literally every time you go anywhere or do anything? Go to the corner store for a Coke? Show ID. Go to the library (but not check out anything)? Show an ID. Go to a nice dinner out? Show an ID. Grocery shopping? Yep, show an ID. Fun day out with the kids? Show an ID. Nope, not me, thanks.

It makes people with disabilities who use service dogs targets for anybody who wants to see identifiable information. Yes, to drive a car you need a license. But you are only requested for that license if you are driving erratically. Also, if a person chooses to owner train their dog, or if they're disability makes owner training the only viable option, they are at a distinct disadvantage.
