If someone with a CHL is always carrying under the authority of their CHL, then how can a police officer or bank guard with a CHL legally get away with intentionally failing to conceal on duty and in uniform? That would be simple if the CHL didn't automatically trump LEO, MPA, ETC. However, I hear many senior members saying the law says someone with a CHL is always carrying under the CHL, so I'm confused. Can someone please quote the specific laws involved because that's not what I was taught in my class. Thanks a lot.

No problems in the Hill Country. Might be different inside Austin city limits.
