Do you know of this ever happening? Since HB2909 passed in 1997, I haven't heard of a single situation where a person was arrested for violation of TPC §30.05 based on the fact that they were an armed CHL. Also, no one takes the ride unless the DA's office says they will accept charges.
Chas.
Another of my weak attempts at humor.
And to further your point from 1995 - 1997 CHL was explicitly only a
Defense to 46.02, and I believe even all the current 46.15 exceptions have been ruled to be
Defenses. It's like the "theoretical" taking the ride for speeding, even though jail time is not a penalty. It's as rare as the pink unicorn.
