Re: "Failure to Carry" - CHL license.

I thought my original post was pretty clear. I forgot my billfold. It was not a rebellious attempt to circumvent the law
I forgot my billfold. I then asked what the legal position was about forgetting my billfold. No ambiguity there. I then stated that if it happens again I'm not going to sweat it. I said nothing about leaving the house with bravado in mind and just flatly ignoring the law. My comments really did not deserve your response.

Re: "Failure to Carry" - CHL license.

Well I have read your responses and looked at the 46.15 Texas Penal Code. As usual the law is written in a convoluted and confusing way so as to leave no-one knowing really what the law is and what it stands for, that including the attorneys who designed it that way so as to litigate and generate billable hours. It makes one want to say screw the law and live by the creed that it is better to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission. Even if I asked an attorney or a police officer the answer to my question another would interpret it differently. Thanks for taking a run at the answer. My opinion is that it is better to be carrying without my license on my person than not to be carrying. I am not going to sweat it and plead ignorant remorse if required.

"Failure to Carry" - CHL license.

I have a CHL and 'carry' 99% of the time. Last week when I left the house I was carrying my weapon but later found I had forgotten to take my billfold with me. My CHL is in my billfold. What are the consequenses for not actually having my license on my person when carrying even though licensed to do so? Please advise.
