I hope it's under Sec. 46.02. Then, not only will I get money, but whoever does the arresting can visit the Border Patrol agents in the slammer for violating my civil rights.

Course after Saturday, it won't matter as much since you can carry a handgun, illegal knive or club in you car without a license.
I think you'd lose that one, friend. ;-) :smile:

(b)Section 46.02 does not apply to a person who:


(6) is carrying a concealed handgun and a valid
license issued under Article 4413(29ee), Revised Statutes, to carry
a concealed handgun of the same category as the handgun the person
is carrying;

Several Representatives that I gave CHL training to agreed.

What is the charge? Illegally carrying a knive legally?
That has been argued here several times. It was not the legislative intent that you can carry other weapons, and it is called a concealed HANDGUN license, not a concealed WEAPONS License.

DPS tells us at instructor school that it is a voilation, and LE officers that I know will arrest.

If you wanna be a test case I would love to read about it. ;-)
It wasn't their intent - but it still says that the section doesn't apply. Black and White "DOES NOT APPLY". They need to add some words in there to reflect that it doesn't apply to handguns only. Look up the definition of "loophole".
I am not gonna be a test case.

However, read carefully the other sections of 46.15 (b). It is clear, at least to me. But don't worry, it will not be me that arrests ya for it. :grin:
