Paladin,

Florida does not have a concealed handgun license. It has a "Concealed Weapon or Firearm License" (CWL). Texas has a Concealed Handgun License (CHL). On the face of it, there appears to be a big difference.

Don't get me wrong. I would prefer Texas' CHL to be a CCW or CWL. I too would like to be able to carry a Bowie knife or sword (not that I would) if the occasion called for it, and without fear of arrest. I sympathize with your position, but I just don't believe it. I have never seen anyone of any authority state that Texas' CHL was actually a CCW or CWL. Hell, if I do the range qualification using a revolver, I can't even carry a semiautomatic.
As I said in the other thread, I'm not a lawyer... but the reasoning in the thread rings true to me. The thread says that the DPS says it's okay. I'd love to see a formal statement by the DPS (one way or the other).

If you've got your CHL and are legally carrying your handgun, the 'illegal knife' thing shouldn't be a problem for you.

Although just the same I wouldn't recommend walking around town wearing samuari swords ;)
