Paladin,

Florida does not have a concealed handgun license. It has a "Concealed Weapon or Firearm License" (CWL). Texas has a Concealed Handgun License (CHL). On the face of it, there appears to be a big difference.

Don't get me wrong. I would prefer Texas' CHL to be a CCW or CWL. I too would like to be able to carry a Bowie knife or sword (not that I would) if the occasion called for it, and without fear of arrest. I sympathize with your position, but I just don't believe it. I have never seen anyone of any authority state that Texas' CHL was actually a CCW or CWL. Hell, if I do the range qualification using a revolver, I can't even carry a semiautomatic.

Although just the same I wouldn't recommend walking around town wearing samuari swords ;)
It will be a BIIIG problem for anyone to carry an illegal knife. CHLs are only for handguns.
