I would hope nothing would happen to you, after all anyone can carry in their car under the MPA. BUT, I was told by my CHL instructor that when they run your license they will know you may have a gun. At this point I would think they will approach you with caution and ask if you have any weapons in the car, because he stated that it does not distinguish between a CHL holder, LEO, or just AMWG. I don’t know if that is exactly true or not (maybe someone from LEO can verify this), but he seemed pretty convincing when I asked him about it. Others without a CHL don’t have to worry about this issue. I guess that’s why we are required to show both DL and CHL when requested to do so.C-dub wrote:Right, but where I'm still hung up on that is when the LEO asks for our CHL license. If we have it we might have forgotten to give it to the LEO and that penalty has been removed. What I wonder about is what will happen when the LEO returns from their car and asks for it and I either choose not to provide or am unable to do so, while claiming to be carrying under the MPA.apostate wrote:If you have a handgun on or about your person in the car, you're still required to display but there's no penalty if you don't. In that sense, it's similar to many laws that state a government employee (or agency) "shall" do something, but provide no penalty for noncompliance. A prime example would be several years ago when CHL applications were not processed by DPS in a timely fashion.
