It came from before MPA when carrying in your car without a CHL was illegal. The requirement to display your CHL used to have a punishment associated with failure to do so, but that was eliminated for the reason that you point out. It would be silly to penalize a CHL for doing something (car carry and don't display CHL) that was legal for a non-CHL.Vanguard wrote:Thanks for the replies, guys. Very informative.

Okay, I know what the law says but does anyone besides me find it odd that CHL holders need to go through this little routine when just anyone can carry in the car anyway? For what purpose does the officer need to see your CHL when he doesn't need to see one from Joe Public? Doesn't sound very well thought out to me.
