I'm not sure I get your point. The CHL test question talks about "in your glove box". That has always been considered "on or about your person". Prior to MPA, you needed a CHL to carry in your vehicle (absent other non-applicability like sporting activity, etc.). Now you don't, because 46.02 has specific language excepting vehicle carry.

The question is asked considering that you are a CHL holder. When you are carrying your handgun and your license on or about your person (glove box qualifies), the exception provided by MPA under 46.02 does not apply because 46.15 tells us that the entire section 46.02 does not apply. MPA has nothing to do with this question.

You have a concealed handgun license and carry a revolver in the glove compartment of your car, when stopped by a police officer, you should:
a) Roll down the window before the officer approaches
b) Keep both hands in plain sight on top of the steering wheel
c) Give the officer your driver license AND your concealed handgun license
d) All of the above

That seems to be right to me. I think part of the reason they specifically mention off body carry is so people understand that a CHL is not covered under MPA. Maybe totally off but it seems a good enough excuse.
