I dont have my CHL, and I dont plan on getting one. Mainly cause I dont want my name in a data base and Ive seen to many cops blow a gasket when you do the right thing and hand them your CHL and they freak out knowing you have a gun on you.

I have a 1911 that rides with me in my truck every where I go. I normally have it tucked right next to me between the center consul and my seat with a full clip. I haven't been pulled over with it next to me but I am curious if, by law, I am allowed to have it sitting next to me in plain view with a full clip in it. Ive been told the best thing is to just keep it out of sight as long as it is not on my body.

Just curious what is legal as far as having a loaded pistol next to you in plain view, in a vehicle, in texas.

Long live our second amendment.
