How can the statute expect you to display your weapon in response to "force" if you will then be charged with failure to conceal? It basically says that display of the weapon when force is justified is not deadly force.
You don't actually expect laws to make common sense, do you?
Hey, it is what it is. You can be charged with intentional failure to conceal if you display a handgun while under authority of your CHL. If you read further in that statute, there is an exception stating it is a defense to that crime if you displayed it when you are justified to use deadly force.
Using your handgun as ordinary force, as you are describing creating an apprehension of force, is not justified.
This is not the first time this topic has been discussed in these forums. The above has been stated by Mr. Cotton himself, who I'd consider to be a pretty reputable source.
Put about as well as it can be. As CHL Instructors we show a student the law if you need more as has been said here visit your attorney.
