I can tell you and my wife can also tell you it does show up when they run your license. She got stopped for a headlight being out and didn't tell them she had a CHL. He came back to the car and asked her about it. She wasn't carrying at the time but I was sitting in the passenger seat. He didn't say a thing to me and I didn't say a thing to him. She just got a verbal warning to get it fixed.thetexan wrote:Are you certain about that?carlson1 wrote:
A run (10/28) on your license plate does not reveal you are a CHL holder.
I shouldn't have implied the 'something to prove' with such a broad brush. I am irritated at chls who carry and push the envelope just because they can in order to make a point that many times doesn't need to be made. That non-cooperative, in-you-face personality bugs me, and I had just gotten through having a discussion with one of those types. To everyone who isn't that way I appologize. To those who are that way, (and by that I mean those who deliberately look for opportunities to shove their 2nd amendment in the face of authority), if the shoe fits.
Having said all that I agree that, in general, you don't need to do anything but follow the law. Nothing else is required. Although, I am interested to hear more about running license plates and IDs and whether chl info is revealed during that process and how we know that.

Re: Telling the LEO?
Thank you so much. I don't know how I missed this. I'll be sure to post on the camping forum.

Telling the LEO?
I have had this discussion with friends, family, and read comments on several forums. The topic recently came up on a camping forum of all places.
I have looked on the Texas Dept. of Public Safety website and Google and can't find anything. Are you required to declare that you have a CHL when stopped by a LEO?
I could swear I've heard it was required if you have a CHL but not if you don't have one. Can't find anything in an official writing or document. I haven't been stopped but out of respect would show my CHL regardless of the law. I would like to have a reference to this if there is one that I can quote or show whenever this topic comes up.
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
