Re: Show CHL?
I think we just have a small misunderstanding. I thought your tone was sarcastic in your original post because of the CAPS and the overall structure of your response. I thought I was attempting to be civil in my response to you. I guess we just were on different pages. Apologies!

Re: Show CHL?
While I respect your right to your own opinion, your response demonstrates that you did not read my post very carefully. I was not going to lie to the officer in any way. Also, I attend a private university not a public school. Oh, and you can get arrested without breaking the law (there is specifically one forum member who will attest to that). Some officers don't even know what the laws governing CHLs are.Embalmo wrote:I agree-I would rather take my chances and lie to a campus police officer that disclose that there is a gun LEGALLY concealed in my car. I am convinced that any student would be expelled, and arrested for legally having a gun concealed in their car. Disclosing is just not worth the risk anywhere near a public school or university.Lonest4r wrote:Here is my rationale: I go to a medium size private university and carry on my drive to school.

The police on campus seem a little ignorant of the laws and the fact that I could carry on the property as long as I'm not on the "grounds" (building or part of a building) so long as no school activities were taking place outside on the grass. I guess I figured they might just ask for my student ID to verify I was a student there and not run me in the database. I was trying to avoid a legal hassle that would possibly ruin my education, even if I was in the right and could beat the charges.

Show CHL?
Would you be required to show your CHL if when pulled over and asked for id the gun is in a locked box under your seat? Just wondering if that classifies as carrying under the authority of your CHL.
