(a) If a license holder is carrying a handgun on or about the license holder's person when a magistrate or a peace officer demands that the license holder display identification, the license holder shall display both the license holder's driver's license or identification certificate issued by the department and the license holder's handgun license. A person who fails or refuses to display the license and identification as required by this subsection is subject to suspension of the person's license as provided by Section 411.187.canvasbck wrote:I haven't noticed the word only in the statute.

Specifically the part where you are only REQUIRED to provide your License to LEO's when asked for identification.
So...The law does not prohibit anyone asking if you have a CHL, but does limit the people you actually have to disclose that information to peace officers and judges.
I personally wouldn't say anything.
...you're quoting the old law...411.205 doesn't say that anymore...check out a LS16 of Oct 2009...
...it galls me that we have a law carefully written and passed, yet an employer who cares not a whit about the safety of it's employees, only their financial liability...and circumvents that law...but that's the way it works....
