Send your friend a link to this website. It'll do him a world of good.

As a matter of fact I am getting together with him again tonight for the second time in a month while he's in town again for business. I haven't seen him so much since we did bad things together in high school in the, heh hemmmm, 70's.
I have told him about the site. I'll mention it again.

Probably the best option. You stated that you might ask him why at your next meeting. But you also stated that he is a cop wannabe. What led to that conclusion, just because he has the badge?

He also has a hat from his local PD.

He's a talker, always the salesman.

I've know him for 45 of my 51 years and he puts himself out there.

CHL is short for: Concealed Handgun LICENSE - not permit...

Some states have "permits" and some have "licenses." I think "hangun permit" or "gun permit" was the popular term in movies and TV across America long before we got our Concealed Handgun Licences here in Texas. So the general population, outside the CHL crowd, tend to call them permits. (It sometimes annoys me too, or at least makes me wonder how much the person knows about Texas CHL.)

I agree with your explanation. I have found that saying "CHL" is foreign to most people who don't have one, but it usually doesn't annoy me. After all, a CHL permits one to carry concealed.

In addition to my CHL, I do have a permit - a Concealed Firearms Permit issued by the State of Utah.

That's well and good, but do you have a badge?
