It's supposed to be actual policefolk where the camera crew is just with them riding along, showing how hard it is to be an officer of the law.

If there's a 1% chance of that happening, do you want to take it?

Yes I would. There's nothing illegal about car carry, there's nothing illegal about having a gun on the console below the window line.

If I were to go through a drive through, then I would cover it up because it would be failing to conceal to a reasonable person, I chose to enter the drive through so I should conceal my gun from the kid in the drive through, but I try to stay away from drive throughs, I hate drive throughs.

My instruction course was taught by a man who helped write the CHL laws. The definition of concealed is out of view from a reasonable person. I would hope that if I were to be pulled over and the officer walked up and saw my gun, he would then ask if I had a license for it. I would then expect him to take control of my gun and place it on the roof of the vehicle. I would hope he would not act like a actor from "COPS" and scream "GUN!!!!" and then try to manhandle me to the ground.

In plain view is anything above the window line. When Im in my van, it sits on the center console. It is below the window line and it's legal. I could keep it in my lap and it would be legal just as long as the handgun stays below the window line.

A non-CHL holder can't take the firearm into a restaurant or supermarket. A non-CHL holder can't cross most state lines with a loaded firearm.

The 2nd Amendment does not say " the rights of a CHL holder shall not be granted to others."

In a Constitutional America, there would be no CHL because everyone would be allowed to carry everywhere. I hope more laws are repealed and more people will carry. I'm hoping open-carry comes to Texas and you would not need a CHL except to go into states that don't recognize our Constitutional guarantees properly.
