(b)Section 46.02 does not apply to a person who:

a concealed handgun of the same category as the handgun the person

Several Representatives that I gave CHL training to agreed.

What is the charge? Illegally carrying a knive legally?
That has been argued here several times. It was not the legislative intent that you can carry other weapons, and it is called a concealed HANDGUN license, not a concealed WEAPONS License.

DPS tells us at instructor school that it is a voilation, and LE officers that I know will arrest.

If you wanna be a test case I would love to read about it. ;-)
It wasn't their intent - but ...............
When a buisness owner posts an improper 30.06 and someone says..."its clear their intent", we still disregard the sign because "Intent" doesn't matter, but when the code seems to have an unintended consequence, the "Intent of the Legislature" is taken into account?

Prior to the change in 46.15 with regards to traveling, was it legal to carry an illegal knife or club while "Traveling"?
