For confirming that you carry. Or does the outing only refer if another person "sees" your weapon and that you're currently carrying? We were told that if you were walking down the street and wind blows you coat open and someone sees your weapon and reports you, you could get your license revoked.txinvestigator wrote:For what cause?ExitusLSU wrote:Well, if you ask that question, wouldn't you then be outing yourself as a CHL holder?

I'd like some more clarification on this.
Trespassing is PC 30.05, which says that criminal trespass doesn't apply if the reason for the trespass is that the actor is carrying a concealed handgun with a CHL. Unless being given notice by PC 30.06, of course... and in a government building, PC 30.06 does not apply except for meetings of governmental bodies.
There is no section of the Code that would allow them to prosecute a CHL for trespass for carrying a concealed handgun.
Of course, they could always claim you were being asked to leave for some reason completely unrelated to the handgun. I seriously doubt they'd be sharp enough to try that at the time of the incident, so if they ask you to leave and then summon the police, then make them answer this question (in front of the officer): "Am I being asked to leave because I'm carrying a concealed handgun?"
If they admit it, then you can't be prosecuted.
Remember I'm a noob at carrying, so I'm asking these questions to clarify questions that I have.
Thanks,
