Well, from what I'm reading now, and perceiving,,, using the CHL as I.D. and often might be a good idea. :-)
We are required to "reasonably conceal" and keep the gun(s) concealed.
It is only "(rude display of pistol may constitute breach of peace)"
or knowingly "displays a firearm or other deadly weapon in a public place in a manner calculated to alarm"

But since the AGO quotes a certain Mister Cotton in a portion of his opinion, perhaps there is other insight available on this site. :-)

Re: How did you learn about CHL?
I looked around and can't find the exact place where i read it, But,, The state has said, "anyone that accepts the Texas drivers licence as I.D. has to accept the CHL as I.D.GreenGuy wrote:I've considered using my CHL as proof of ID when at a store that asks for my DL, thinking it might "inform" someone that it is legal to posess a firearm, by other than a LEO, it may spark a conversation and get one more person interested in CHL.
It struck me as really odd, since, I thought as others here, that flashing the licence would be "breaking concealment".
Either the state does not think that way. Or, the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing in this instance.
