Chas.

The never said that in either my initial instructor class, nor my instructor renewal class. I also asked my father who has been instructing since 1996, and DPS has never told HIM that either.

I just attended the DPS CHL Instructor course this Monday through Wednesday. Sgt. Riddle expressly said that verbal disclosure was an "intentional failure to conceal." This was in response to a question from one of the students.

Again, I don't think it is either.

Chas.

How did you like it? Don't you love their range?

I think I'll have to email Riddle. She needs the extra stress.

I just polled all of our instructors.......It'll be interesting to read their replies.

I disagree. The law says you must intentionally fail to conceal handgun, not fail to conceal the fact that you are carrying.
