I recently had an encounter with a Brooks County LEO. My CHL application is currently in the review phase and as such never carry on my person at anytime. I do however, carry in my vehicle whenever I travel from my county to another for whatever reason. Needless to say I was pulled over for a traffic violation and after handing the LEO my documents I informed him that there was a firearm in the vehicle but not on my person. He then proceeded to tell me that he had 24 years of LE experience and his expertise in the law said that I should not have a firearm in my vehicle as it was illegal. I was under the impression that you could have a firearm in your vehicle in Texas without a CHL. Can someone please clarify?
It is legal. Since the LEO thought is was not legal what happened after you informed him about your firearm in the vehicle?
