Re: What kind of trouble if I forgot to bring my CHL

You are required to present your CHL when carrying under its authority and are asked for ID. However, there is no longer a penalty for not showing your CHL. So if you forget your CHL and are carrying, then you wouldn't face any charges. But it most likely wouldn't be a pleasant day. Some officers may not be 100% up to speed on current CHL laws, so you could conceivably be detained for some time until things get sorted out.

My advice would be to avoid the issue altogether and keep your CHL in your wallet with your driver's license. That way it's always on you.
