I always buy the sportsman gold to avoid any problems. FWC stopped me & my buddy last year (we were both legal) and as soon as he saw we both had the gold, he stopped all ball-breaking & let us go on our way. The laws are so convoluted nowadays that it's too easy to think your legal, then an officer checks you out & you find ONE thing that you missed. YES I support law enforcement, but let me buy one license & be done with it already!
