It gets confusing reading all the opinions for those that know the difference.

Gig, come on now... You're better than that.. it's no more difficult to decipher that then it is when someone writes clip and not magazine, motor not engine, ect....

Why, yes, yes it is about principles, and the law as written, and what society demands of citizens, which is adherence to the laws as written, and what the citizens (informed and contributing citizens anyway) demand is that those charged with enforcing said laws, actually follow them.

It troubles me that so many are only concerned with how fast they can get through a unneeded DWI checkpoint that by all current research is not actually happening in TX legally, if at all. (still not seeing ANY supporting evidence, confirmed reports of a DWI checkpoint in the state of TX... Anyone????)

Why? there is a law... It is demanded in all cases that citizens know all laws that are applicable to them and there activities.. (impossible, but that's another thread)

I insist that those charged with enforcing the law, know them and follow them as well.
It's very clear....

GC §411.205. REQUIREMENT TO DISPLAY LICENSE. (a) If a license
holder is carrying a handgun on or about the license holder's person when
a magistrate or a peace officer demands that the license holder display
identification, the license holder shall display both the license holder's
driver's license or identification certificate issued by the department and
the license holder's handgun license.

If they do not ask for ID, there is no need, requirement or reason to present a CHL.
