I am holding out hope that it does not really mean concealed handgun lisence holder, but it does not look good.

The "journalist" twice refers to "lisenced handgun".

A friend points out that some states have a "license to carry" but we have a "concealed handgun license" in Texas, so we shouldn't fault people who think the gun is licensed like the name says.

Except that this journalist is working in Texas and writing for a Texas market, more specifically Dallas. He should be better versed in the specifics and have better knowledge of his own state's laws and be able to communicate that more clearly, to say nothing of his editor. Who cares what the other 49's are? He is not writing for them. Lisence to carry does not sound to me at all like "lisenced handgun".

Though, honestly, in this case, I'd rather have the "journalist" refer to the GUN the way he did rather than draw attention to a CHL holder if that's what he turns out to be.
