This one is debatable for a CHL. While no one else is ever required to carry a DL when they are not driving in Texas (or even then if they show it to the magistrate later), a CHL is required to provide both a DL and his CHL when asked for ID. I know the law was written figuring that most people would encounter a peace officer when they were driving, but it technically would still apply if you were stopped while walking down the aisle of the grocery store.

I am curious what would happen if someone had the CHL but no DL in just such a case. I keep hoping no cop would be so stupid as to file this charge, but there is the thread from the other forum referencing disarming people. Every profession has it share of idiots.

We are on the same page Liberty. My post was to shaggydog, and my "point" was: There is indeed a word "irregardless", although it is often times misused.

The second point was: We all understood what anygun was trying to say...and "perfect" English (and sentence structure) is NOT required here in order to participate. I certainly hope no one is "grading" anything I write here. I will be the first to tell you...I possess something less than "a great command" of the English language.

REGARDLESS.

[Origin: 1910–15; IR-2 (prob. after irrespective) + REGARDLESS ]

—Usage note IRREGARDLESS is considered nonstandard because of the two negative elements ir- and -less. It was probably formed on the analogy of such words as irrespective, irrelevant, and irreparable. Those who use it, including on occasion educated speakers, may do so from a desire to add emphasis. IRREGARDLESS first appeared in the early 20th century and was perhaps popularized by its use in a comic radio program of the 1930s.

I believe we all understood what Anygun was trying to convey.

Why would you NOT show your CHL along with your DL even if you are not armed?
