Yes, in your console is fine, (KEEP IT CONCEALED of course)Vanguard wrote: I was wondering if placing the firearm in my console would be okay.
If asked for ID, show it,
If you forgot your CHL, tell the officer as you give him your DL, "I have a CHL, but forgot to move it to this wallet (these shorts, etc)..."
IF asked if you have a gun, then offer that up,but do not by any means put your gun in plain view - You will get arrested.
Do not come out and say "I have a gun......" in a manner that they may it to mean you mean to do them harm, versus just informing them you have a gun.
In Texas, you have NO obligation to tell a cop you have a gun on you, UNLESS ASKED
However, if asked for an ID, you do have an obligation to produce your DL AND your CHL.
