But in Texas they can fire you for anything. So while they won't claim it's about the gun.... it will be.

That is not something I fear. Not where I work.

If someone breaks into your car and steals your weapon or even steals your entire car while on university property, the campus police department will be the agency filing the police report - not HPD or DPD or whatever city department in which the university is located.

Thanks for this post; I never thought of that angle. A theft under these circumstances would force you to disclose something that may well cost you your job in addition to losing a car/gun. More ammo for the 2011 Texas Legislative Session. (Yeah, the pun was intended.)

Chas.

Need more ammo? Imagine driving on campus just to get to the parking lot and being pulled over by the campus police. If you had a weapon in your vehicle, at that point you are obligated to present your CHL. We all know what the next question from the officer is.

OK, stupid question. I know it is an easy one.

If you're carrying in the car, couldn't you claim that you're carrying under MPA and not present the CHL? Is one legally obligated to present the CHL then? Only when carrying under the CHL, right?

But then it will come back on the license check and he can ask. But then you can respond that you are not currently carrying under the authority of your CHL. Then he can ask if you have any weapons in the car. Then when you say yes, the officer is ticked and throws the book at you, right?
