Re: Carrying while waiting on renewal(expired)

Something to keep in mind. If you (carrying) and are asked for identification and you hand an officer both a DL and an expired CHL. You are claiming you are falling under the CHL laws by the fact you handed it to them. In this case you might possibility be charged. If you only hand a DL and he comes back and asks about a CHL and you state your license is expired and you are NOT carrying under the CHL laws you have a better chance to fight the charge if you are arrested for carrying. More times than not an Officer will perform an action based on YOUR comment or understanding. I will probably have a few say they can't arrest you...they can and some will. You SHOULD beat the rap but maybe not the ride. So if your license is expired and you carry under the right to carry in your vehicle....do NOT carry the license because it is invalid!
