The point I'm making is that it would appear that nonapplicability per 46.15 only seems to work if you are carrying a concealed handgun and your CHL. In those instances where one might wish to leave the gun at home, you couldn't carry your illegal knife or club even with your CHL.

"~ (b) Section 46.02 does not apply to a person who:

~ ~ (6) is carrying a concealed handgun and a valid license issued under Article 4413(29ee), Revised Statutes, to carry a concealed handgun of the same category as the handgun the person is carrying; "

So if you have your CHL with you, it might be OK to carry an automatic knife, as long as you also have a gun. No gun, no knife, is that about it?

Also, would you be required to keep the knife concealed as well? Or might you be able to use it as the perfectly legitimate tool that it really is?
