Can you carry a photo of your CHL in your phone?
While on the subject can you carry a photo of TX driver license in phone?
Thinking lots of time running to store, etc would have phone and not wallet.
Thank you

Re: Can you carry photo CHL?
Yes, I'm sure you can carry a photo of both. In your phone, your iPad, or even in your hand (printed photo). All would be legal.MJR wrote:Can you carry a photo of your CHL in your phone?

To the question you did not ask. No, I don't think that having a photo meets the requirement of carrying your license with you.

Re: Can you carry photo CHL?
Sure, but it legally does not replace the actual plastic document. Technically, you are in violation of PC 46.02 Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon if you don't have "a license" on your person.MJR wrote:Can you carry a photo of your CHL in your phone?

(b) Section 46.02 does not apply to a person who:
...
(6) is carrying:
(A) a license issued under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, to carry a handgun; and
(B) a handgun
4/13/1996 Completed CHL Class, 4/16/1996 Fingerprints, Affidavits, and Application Mailed, 10/4/1996 Received CHL, renewed 1998, 2002, 2006, 2011, 2016...). "ATF... Uhhh...heh...heh....Alcohol, tobacco, and GUNS!! Cool!!!!"

I just don't understand this younger generation. I go lots of places without my phone but I would NEVER leave home without my wallet!

Re: Can you carry photo CHL?
I believe the answer to both questions is no. A photo can be altered and be very hard to determine it's not on a phone sized photo.MJR wrote:Can you carry a photo of your CHL in your phone?

Is a picture of your license carrying your license?
On a side note, going to some stores might require your license and a couple of handguns, if you shop at WalMart.

I think you are answering a different question than the one asked in the OP.bblhd672 wrote:I believe the answer to both questions is no. A photo can be altered and be very hard to determine it's not on a phone sized photo.MJR wrote:Can you carry a photo of your CHL in your phone?

I definitely CAN take a picture of my LTC and DL, and anything else, and can keep these pictures in my phone.
If we change the question to "does a picture in my phone take the place of carrying a physical LTC and DL?", then I agree with you that the answer to that question is "no".
