I see well thank you for the clarification.

Declare or not declare that is the question.

It is my understanding of the law that a CHL holder is not required to declare that they have a chl or if they are armed to an officer if stopped.

I was talking to a DPS LEO that was working traffic control at one of my project and he said personally he thinks everyone should declare for 2 reasons.

1. He said that there are alot of smaller departments that might not be as current on the CHL statutes as they should be and might not know about the law change.
2. He would like to know just for his personal safety if there are ever any firearms in any vehicle he stops.

I am of the mindset even though I have no legal obligation to declare I might as well do it and save myself any possible headaches that might arise.

Does anyone have any other thoughts on this issue?
