Re: Area's around Texas that are questionable about CHL
OOPS, Sorry. I don't know why I put Castle. I guess I'm getting old. Did not mean to say confusing things. Thanks for pointing this out.

Re: Area's around Texas that are questionable about CHL
Plano, just north of Dallas is getting that reputation. A cop there ticketed a guy who had a gun in his car, but failed to show his CHL. He had applied for a CHL, but had not received it in the mail yet. He did not have it to show with his driver's license when the cop asked for ID. It is legal under the Castle law to have a gun in the car, so he didn't think he was doing anything wrong even if he didn't have his license in the mail yet. When the cop ran his license, he found the records already reported the guy had his CHL. The driver tried to explain to no avail. It came the next day, I think, so he tried to leave messages for the cop he could prove he didn't have the CHL because he could show him the postmark on the envelope. To no avail. Still got the ticket. I did not hear whether it got resolved without a lot of legal hassle for the guy. I have also read a couple other things on other forums that Plano takes a dim view of CHL. If you drive through some parts of Dallas, you might want to carry a BUG :0).
