No. CHLs apply to the handgun part of 46.02 only.
I don't think that is correct. It does not state that only part of the statute is non-applicable, it states the whole statute is non-applicable. I don't see how a court could interpret a law to mean something that it doesn't say. If they did, they'd have a huge open door problem with the whole law book.

I talked to a Captain in the Dallas Police Department yesterday afternoon and he told me without a doubt that LEO and the court see an illegal knife and a switchblade as two different things. He basically said that unless you have an LEO, military, or Federal ID, that you will go to jail and be charged with a Class A misdemeanor if you have a switchblade on you. On certain property, possession is a third degree felony.

I think I'll be getting the non-auto model after all.
