If you look at the reciprocity agreements between Utah and Texas, there is a statement that "Persons carrying a concealed weapon in the reciprocal state shall comply with laws, rules and regulations governing the use and carrying of a concealed weapon in that reciprocal state."srothstein wrote:That is an interesting question. I am going to guess that you would be breaking the law. Here is my reasoning:WildBill wrote:What if you have your Texas CHL and your Utah CFP. If you are carrying [in Texas] and show only your Utah CFP are you breaking the law?srothstein wrote:No, the law is clear that the authority to carry is irrelevant to the duty to show. No matter how you are carrying, if you have a CHL and a gun on or about your person, you must show the CHL and DL/ID when asked for ID by a peace officer. If a peace officer has a pistol and a CHL, he must show the CHL. If the person is in a car or in his house and has a gun on his person and is asked for ID, he must show the CHL.
1. The terms license and license holder are not truly defined in the government code.
2. The law says a license holder will show his license.
3. This is all in a chapter dealing with our licenses.
4. A Utah license is not the license as the term is generally referred to in the chapter (411).
5. Therefore, you are required to show your Texas CHL.
As an interesting side note, my read has a side benefit to your Utah CHL. If youa re a Texas resident and have a Utah CHL but not one from Texas, you are not a license holder under the terms of this section. You would not need to identify or notify the LEO.
But a lawyer might see it differently.
I read that anyone who has an 'out of state' CHL must comply with Texas rules and regulations while in Texas.
