I understand some people have that belief, but that isn't what the letter of the law says. This has been discussed before in these forums.

There is a test case in Austin right now by a guy who chose to walk into the Capitol with an otherwise illegal knife, a handgun, and his CHL. He wanted to be a test case and he got his wish. I'll be interested in seeing the outcome. :tiphat:
Charges against him were dropped "in the interest of justice". It was posted in another thread on here...just can't find it right now. Since it never went to court, we don't have a definitive ruling one way or the other on the legality of carrying illegal knives, clubs, etc. while also carrying a handgun under a CHL.
