As I said, I turned around and got my wallet anyway. But my reading of the thread you linked to is diametrically opposed to what yours appears to be. I don't think srothstein said anything like what I've bolded in your post - quite the opposite, in fact.C-dub wrote:Be very careful there everyone. If you have a CHL and are not on your own property and you are carrying a concealed handgun you had better have the plastic with you. In your car or not, Steve Rothstein and probably Charles, have explained why we cannot get away with carrying under the MPA.

True, the penalty has been removed fro failure to show your license, but once the LEO runs your DL and discovers you have a CHL they are going to ask if you are carrying. What are you going to say if you are and know you don't have your plastic with you?

Re: Remember Your Wallet
I had something similar happen to me, shortly after I got my CHL. My thought process was similar to yours, in that I reasoned that I could not get out of my truck until it was back on my driveway.Teamless wrote:As we are in the drive through line (luckily we normally do not go inside), I reach for my wallet and realize I do not have it, but I also feel that i DO have my weapon.
with MPA, I am covered so I was not worried about that, but I did tell my wife, that she had to pay since I forgot my wallet and followed it up by "and we cannot go anywhere else that I would have to get out of the car" (which meant to her, I would not be pumping her gas for the week).
I turned around, went home and got my wallet. Thankfully, I've not (yet) made that mistake again.
