I have already shot down two of the three worries about getting your CHL.horns434 wrote:Hello Everyone,
My worries center around three issues.
1) The DPS fee price is not necessarily an issue but I'd obviously rather not spend the $140 if there's no real need.
Thanks for reading, anybody have thoughts?
This is one of the most ridiculous statements about CHL that I have ever heard.horns434 wrote:My worries center around three issues.
2) I've heard (from someone who really doesn't have much authority on the issue) that there could be instances where being a CHL holder could put me at greater liability when it comes to legal issues. According to the person's retired police uncle, "if anything were to go down, and you had a CHL, you'd be in bigger trouble cause you're supposed to know better." From what I could get from the person, they were under the impression that the punishment for a serious gun-related crime could be worse if I had a CHL compared to if I didn't... Obviously this makes no logical sense to me, but I was wondering if anyone had anything to say about it?

"I see you have a CHL" is not a question. The officer is more likely to say "Do you have a gun" so you can answer "no" and no one will be the wiser. BTW, welcome to the Forum.horns434 wrote:Since I'm not carrying and don't want them to know about it, I decide not to hand the officer my CHL when he asks for ID. He goes back to his car, sees that I'm a CHL holder, and comes back and openly says something along the lines of "I see you have a CHL". This officer has essentially just disclosed to the people in my car that I have a CHL, which should have remained private information.
