I may be a little gray in this area, and on my temples, mustache, beard, eyebrows, chest...well, let's just stop there.

It does and that is where I have a problem with a person that has a CHL claiming they are carrying under the MPA. It has happened to me before where I have left the house and forgotten my wallet, but remembered my gun. I usually only get a block or two away before making the discovery and return to get the wallet with my licenses. I can't see it going very well if I were stopped and were unable to produce a CHL license and try claiming I was carrying under the MPA. Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't see that going well for me.
Having to produce your CHL and ID when asked for ID has nothing to do with whether you are carrying under the authority of your CHL. As Mr . Rothstein pointed out, even a LEO has to produce both CHL and ID if asked even though they do not even need the CHL to be carrying a concealed handgun.
:iagree:

The relevant section says that you need to produce your CHL regardless of whether you are carrying under it's authority. I don't see how this says anything about whether or not you are always carrying under the authority of your CHL when another authority would also apply (MPA, LEO, etc).
