The Evil Pawn Shop Guy told me about this a few days ago.
The Evil Pawn Shop Guy told me about this a few days ago.
My parents named me Howard Hughes Graham,,,
Back in 1978 I had my name changed to Howard Hughes Aarond Graham.
I wanted to change it to Aarond H. Graham,,,
But my Mom pitched a fit so I just added Aarond to the original.
This is where it gets dodgy.
The Air Force lawyer I used said to get all of my new ID cards as Aarond H. Graham,,,
He advised me that it was perfectly legal to use a derivative of your name,,,
It's kind of like a man named Johnathan using Johnny as a legal name,,,
In fact, it's called a Legal Alias.
So every ID I have had since 1978 has Aarond H. Graham on it,,,
That includes my Social Security Card.
The Patriot Act changed a lot of that though,,,
It didn't make my "alias" illegal,,,
Just inconvenient to use.
Several years ago, Oklahoma changed it's laws to conform to the Patriot Act,,,
The name on your driver's license must now match your birth certificate.
Or in my case, the legal papers that are my Name Change Document.
So my drivers license now has Howard Hughes Aarond Graham on it,,,
Which is fortunate for me because I can use it to comply with the new regulation.
I'll be testing it out next week,,,
I'm ordering a Phoenix Arms HP-22 Range Kit.
Aarond
