Thanks Charles I was just trying to get the clarification Google wasn't giving me. Lol

very much aswell I guess I'll put it this way... This law seems to be a common sense answer to the problem that CHL holder face when they have a handgun concealed in their vehicle and do not have the CHL on hand. The removal of penalty if a license holder forgot there chl and had to travel with a firearm in th vehicle, since an unlicensed person face no penalty for not having a CHL while in their vehicle. That is what I understand the intention of the bill is. What I guess is a more clear question is the way the bill is worded does it specify that the penalty is only removed when it is a traffic situation? Or can it "TECHNICALLY" be used as a defense if we ever forget our CHL's when we are out in public.

The penalty for not showing your CHL has been removed, however you must still have your CHL while carrying.

So since there is no penalty and say some one was brave/dumb enough ..however you wanna look at it i guess...what would the outcome be...what does a law with no penalties if broken mean???

Thanks for the welcome ...I was reading a bill analysis of it and it seems to me that one could even refuse to show the CHL ...not too sure what the "technically" means...but just wondered if you are outside the vehicle does this law protect you?

Just got approved on the 15th and emaile DPS and they said they mailed out the license on the 14th ...excellent turnaround time since i sent it on the 16th of March and had my pictures sent back because i forgot to sign the bottom. well beside me finding my self stalking the mail man which i have not seen for the PAST TWO DAYS ...i now have to wait till monday to most likely get plastic . But any ways had a question but wasnt sure where to put it.. In regards to HB 410...does the repeal of the requirement to present a CHL only apply to traffic stops...scenarios could be say you either were approved but have not recieved you licence or say you were printing and an officer noticed and asked if you had a CHL. say in whatever situation you were not in a vehicle...im trying to find out more about if the law protects someone who lets say is not in a vehicle but has forgotten their license what would happen...and have all penalties been removed or just the 90 day suspension? Nice to meet you all..
