I'm guessing it was your instructor's cert that expired, not your CHL. Everybody's cert expires 12/31/13. You'll need a renewal class and there are only a couple of weeks left. The letter did say my instructors cert that was expiring. Since I have been out of the CHL loop for a while, I have forgot...

captain, here is your comment in response to someone that said they showed their chl along with their ID. You don't have to show CHL. The LEO should already know you have CHL. Only if he asks for it specifically.....for which he should have some valid reason. I think this is bad advice and hope you...

Understood. But, IMO, the law needs a clarification.

Now, there is a gray area with the fact that a non-licensed person may carry in their vehicle and is not required to inform if armed. There are differences in opinion on which law trumps which. Some say CHL trumps MPA and you have to present your license. Others stay MPA trumps CHL and you don't. T...

captain, I suggest you do a search on the forum and or contact Charles Cotton or Keith B regarding this. They are highly informed on this and many other related subjects. I especially encourage you to do it if you are or plan to be an instructor. I am an instructor, and Im just telling you about wh...

We have to show it when the peace officer demands identification, such as a drivers license. He doesn't need to specifically ask for the CHL. Not necessarily..... How about we cite verifiable sources for our opinions? I'll go first. Texas Government Code 411.205. Interestingly, he cited the same co...

Can you cite the source that says the officer already knows, one doesn't have to show chl and that he must ask for is specifically. In other words, pretty much all of it except the part regarding it being legal to carry in car concealed. Source was a DPS officer instructor during CHL instructor tra...

Not necessarily.....

I think your instructor is pushing it a bit. I would leave it in the car. Heres how Texas Penal Code defines "premises"..... PC §46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER. (3) “Premises” means a building or a portion of a building. The term does not include any public or priv...

I have a confusing situation with my instructor certification. My vehicle was stolen in December of 2011 with a lot of my CHL information in it including instructor numbers and passwords. To be on the safe side, I contacted DPS and informed them of the situation and asked for a new number and passwo...

Hey guys on a side note I want to comment on Arlington leo. I got stopped on Thursday by leo because my inspection was expired. He asked for Id so I showed my DL and CHL and he was really cool about it. Didn't make a big deal about my carrying he only asked where it was and nothing else. This was m...

So my understanding was that college campuses were not allowed to be carried on even without a 30.06 sign, but in my CHL class yesterday the instructor posed that this was no longer true by giving this scenario, "I can go to Katy high school and carry all around and go jogging on the track, bu...
