Re: Present CHL when not the driver

From the 2007-2008 CHL handbook for Texas QA section
Q: If I am not carrying my handgun, must I still carry my license?
Under the concealed handgun law, you are only required to have your
license with you whenever you are carrying your handgun. However,
many license holders choose to carry their license with them at all
times.
I dont know why it didnt sink in till now :lol:

I guess since I carry 24/7, I dont ever leave home without it...kinda like amex :lol: but with better benefits!!!

Re: Present CHL when not the driver

I saw some of the responses and need to get something cleared up. A few posters mentioned that if you are asked by a LEO for ID, you dont have to give them the CHL if you are not carrying. I know that there was a law that went into effect on (I think) Sept or October 1st that stated that the PENALTY for not showing went away, but I thought that you were still required to show the LEO your CHL if asked for ID?

This may be one of those "well, the penalty is gone, so there is no reason to show it" type situations, but I wanted to be clear on if it is still a requirement to show the CHL regardless of carry status...just that the penalty is gone.

And I would hope that after all the hoopla we had to go through in order to get the CHL that we are all carrying 24/7 ;-)
