There's at least two accounts on this forum some place of people with CHLs (then), who when replying in the negative when asked if they were carrying, were answered with a version of "Why not! You should carry all the time!"
I'm mostly a lurker (and learner) around here but I thought I'd chime in on this thread. I was riding my motorcycle with a buddy this past Sunday on FM 407 between US 287 and FM 156, just west of Justin, on my way back to the Metroplex from lunch at the Green Frog in Jacksboro. I crested a hill, and as I went down, I picked up some speed. A State LEO was going the opposite way and he lit me up. When he asked for my license, I told him I had a CHL but wasn't carrying. He told me I didn't have to tell him that, I said yes, I know but I thought it was the right thing to do. Then he proceeded to chide me for not carrying "especially on a motorcycle". I talked a bit about not knowing where to put it on the bike, and he offered some suggestions! Really good encounter. (Now I need to go back and read through some of the threads around here about carrying on a bike.)

And then he let me off with a warning! (68 in a 60).
I would be interested in knowing what he suggested being a rider myself.
I was about to ask the same thing. I usually carry a shoulder rig under my leathers.
