This is all quite interesting. I'm anxious to go back to DPS' CHL instructor renewal school in a few months to hear their legal beagles' interpretation of this - and what they expect us to teach. I sincerely doubt they are going to take the position "you shouldn't have to show that you are licensed while traveling ..."
As most CHL holders already know, one does not HAVE to show the CHL if the handgun is not present. But, when an officer goes back to his/her vehicle and runs the DL for any outstanding warrants, "CHL holder" will most likely show up on the computer. And most LEOs typically ain't happy campers when they return to continue with a CHL holder who failed to mention in the initial interaction. In reality, I doubt many of 'em are going to be in much of a mood to discuss with a CHL holder the new "traveling" intepretation on the shoulder of the road ...
If a CHL holder, why not just show 'em both the DL and CHL and be done with it?
