but she refused to admit the law was how it was written. I have no idea what might have changed since then or if she is still the chl attorney.

Unless she's on the jury for your trial, her opinion is her opinion. Nothing more.

I do not know what law you are trying to interpret, but ... Definitely not! Read the front of your CHL. It is a Concealed Handgun License. It is not a concealed weapon permit. Nothing in the statues allows you to legally carry anything other than a handgun. INAL, etc.

Wildbill, I have to disagree. No matter what the license says on it, the law clearly states that 46.02 does not apply if you are carrying a CHL and a pistol of the type permitted. I can only take that to mean that I may carry a club or knife with my pistol. In a way, this makes some sense. why would i worry about your carrying a lower level of weapon if you are carrying a firearm? I also know that this may not be the intended interpretation of the law, but intent only comes up when the law itself is not clear.

now, if someone were asking about carrying the club or knife when they did not have the pistol with them also, I would agree with you. That is clearly forbidden.
