The law still states you must declare if you are carrying. Period.
Did the "L" word appear anywhere in this post? Funny thing about CHL laws is that CHLs seem to be the only ones who understand/know current CHL laws. After the incident with the women in the hospital and the treatment that I received, I don't trust LEOs to know what the current laws are concerning CHL. Certainly, I wouldn't take a chance as the cop would know ahead of time, but it was a lot simpler when I carried in my vehicle before I had a CHL. I believed, like we were all told in CHL class, that declaring would put the LEO at ease, but it often has the opposite effect.

It seems to me that the whole point of getting a CHL is so that we can legally carry concealed. So why go to the trouble to get "legal" and then ignore/violate the laws that grant us that privilege?
