Re: Theory that CHL+Concealed handgun=I can carry an illegal knife/club
What does "traveling" have to do with anything? What does the non applicability for security have to do with anything? The law for security USED to only make it lawful while travelin "directly" to or from work.
Regarding 46.15(b), it reads "section 46.02 does not apply to a person who,". meaning that if a person meets the description to follow, then 46.02 does not apply. 46.02 outlaws the carry of handguns, illegal knives and clubs. Following that train, that means a person described in 46.15(b) is not proscribed from carrying a handgun, illegal knife or club.
That means a person who is traveling may carry a handgun, illegal knife or club. The definition of traveling is not relevant to this discussion.
Notice that for hunting, fishing and other lawful sporting activity you are restricted to a weapon "commonly used in that activity" The legislators could have easily used language to restrict the CHL holder to handguns, but they did not.
What they did do is use language that excludes the non-applicability for those carrying a handgun of the improper category.
A person who is carrying a concealed handgun license, and a handgun of the proper category, does not have 46.02 applicable to them. A restrictive phrase could have easily been included to exclude illegal knives and clubs. Such as "this sub section only applies to the carry of handguns", or "illegal knives and clubs are not included in this sub section"
By examining the language for security officers one can ascertain that they too, can carry illegal knives and clubs. Security officers are not required to receive any training in other than handguns, either.
It is clear
