If I'm carrying in a state with CHL reciprocity, I'm going to make a serious effort to find out what their laws are regarding concealed carry, including notification of an officer who asks for ID.

For example, in TX you can carry in establishments that serve liquor unless they make 51% of their sales in booze for on-premesis consumption . . . some states prohibit carry in any establishment with a liquor license. So an Applebee's in TX is OK, an Applebee's elsewhere - maybe not.

When you're away from TX, the laws of the state you're in prevail, not TX laws.

Since not all LEOs are well informed, I'd also carry a copy of the pertinent statutes and letters from that state's AG establishing reciprocity . . . I believe you can find these at the DPS website.
