Yes, because the law says so. There's no (legal) penalty any more but the requirement is still on the books.Vanguard wrote:New guy here...hopefully this hasn't been answered. I scanned the group but didn't see anything addressing it. Here's the question: I have a CHL. If I'm pulled over but my gun is concealed in the console and not on my person, is it required of me to still show my CHL to the officer?
Your car is not an extension of yor home in Texas. I don't know how that urban myth got started. I suspect bath salts but have no proof.Vanguard wrote:Another question...If the car is considered an extension of the home, and I am not required to inform an officer at my doorstep that I have firearms inside my house, why must I do it in my car? Not trying to start any kind of argument, I'm genuinely curious.
Also, the requirement to display your CHL when they demand ID also applies in your home and business same as your car or the local mall.
