I never suggested he carry without a CHL in hand and mentioned that the law was recently changed to remove the penalty. How do you get I was suggesting he do so out of "so good luck if you decide to carry"? I never mentioned the inflated internet rumor of being arrested for unlawful carry for a reason. Most people in most of the state will never run across that sort of harassment so further feeding the fire is not necessary in my opinion. That said, can you post what cities have put out warnings about arrests if a CHL does not have their license in hand? I think that would be an good thing for anyone who lives in or travels thru those areas to have and I can't find the information. I think I read some guy in the Dallas area was threatning it or maybe it was Houston.

The law says we must have a license and display that license if we have a CHL so MPA does not apply to us if the LEO decides it doesn't. There is no penalty for not displaying a CHL any longer so good luck if you decide to carry.

The recent law change removed the penalty for not showing your CHL to a LEO, it did not remove the penalty for carrying w/o the license(which he would be doing according to your opinion). He would beat the failure to disclose portion, but not the carrying w/o license charge that he would probably get.
