Re: HB410 status
I believe the following link represents the amendment which incorporated HB410 into HB2730:
http://www.legis.state.tx.us/tlodocs/81 ... 30H231.PDF" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
After reading the amendment, it looks like we are still suppose to present our CHL license when asked for ID (if carrying). However, we cannot be prosecuted for failing to present the CHL license.
Also, I believe HB410 contained a provision to prevent the police officer from seeing that you have a CHL license when they run your driver license. The amendment to HB2730 does not contain the language to block your CHL status. If this does become law, I could envision a scenerio where a CHL holder is stopped by a police officer, the CHL holder who is carrying only gives the police officer their driver license, the officer runs the DL and notices that the person has a CHL, then returns to the driver and asks them if they currently have a gun in the vehicle. This question would never come up if someone without a CHL was carrying under the Motorist Protection Act.
If I´m not reading this amendment correctly, someone please let me know. I am not complaining -- at this late stage in the game, something is better than nothing, and I realize HB410 probably does not have enough support to pass the Senate. I just want to make sure readers of this forum are aware of what was actually changed.
