Glenn, my solution is a lot simpler: eliminate PC 46.02 and 46.05, and clean up 46.01 now that some of those senseless definitions are no longer needed.

Much easier my way.

Ah, but that section does. The law, prima facie, does allow you to carry a club or illegal knife if you have a CHL and are carrying a handgun of the appropriate class. But in Texas, legislative intent counts, and I think it's been pretty well established that the legislature only intended to cover handguns. This is not a case where it would be wise to be the test case.

As for "evil"... I couldn't help it.
