You would not be able to enter the fair if they new you were carrying without them writing your CHL # down (verified that). I didnt volunteer to give him my #. As the others have said as soon as they realize you are carrying they write the CHL down. When they wrote down others info they wrote more then just the #. My point as I explained to the gate guy is that with the # the police could track me down easily if I was to break the law but if the gate person was to try and steal my identity the # would not help him. He still needs my SS# and he doesnt have that. He doesnt even have my name with just the #. I talked to him for a while after the fact as I waited for my family and he was also checking in others. I was content that by the time I left there was no way he could remember my address or my name. In the end at least I wasnt gunless in a not so good town. To each his own.

Well went to state fair today. I was stopped at gate with the wand. He was checking everywhere. No biggie I handed him my license and out came the notebook. At that moment I told him that he could write my CHL # down but there was no reason for him to write down my name and address and he agreed. I know the # wont help him find anymore info out about me so I was confortable with that. Just an update for.

(1) So it seems the best thing to do if we want to carry is to try to get to the LEO asap before the gate person writes your info down. Also avoid Fitzhugh Ave East Entrance.

What about if they start to write info down you tell them they can have the CCL # but not your name and adress. Tell them that if something was to happen LEO can get all your info from the # and the person trying to steal your identity would have nothing with just a CCL #. What do ya think?

Im going tommarow so really trying to get this resolved. Im new here in Texas and would have no idea who to call.

I was wondering the same thing. Anyone know that actual law or # for the law. Would hate to be challenged and not have anything to offer. Sure as heck though not going to give them all my license #s with identity theft being such a big deal these days.

Thanks for all the info

That helps. I didnt want to just walk up and just hand them my license if the person at the entrance had no clue what I just handed them. Ill wait and see who else pipes in thanks again.

Ive read we can carry but that it had to be checked at the entrance. You still carry just the CHL has to be confirmed. Info was not found at this sight. So do I have to do this at the entrance? If yes how do I do it? Thanks for any replies.
