This thread reminds of a short time after I received my plastic. The wife and I were going to a hockey game and couldn't remember if professional sporting events were off limits. I remembered the school thing, but not the pros. Anyway, as we're walking up to the door I see the metal detectors. I guess I can't! So, instead of just going back to my car I decide to ask a cop about 20 feet from the door. I ask him, a Dallas PD Seargent, if CHL's are allowed to carry inside. This is only a little over 6 years ago. He asks me what a CHL is and I was stunned for a moment trying to decide if he's yanking my chain or not. I decide he's not and tell him that it is a license issued by the state that allows people to carry handguns concealed. His response . . . you're gonna love this . . ."Are you kidding me? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of."

I told another friend of mine, another DPD Seargent, that also has a CHL or maybe it was his wife, and he asked for the guys name. I wish I could have remembered it, I didn't even look. He said he would have loved to have known who that was so he could have educated him.

The point, sometimes we just forget where we can and can't, especially soon after getting the plastic.
