I don't want to scare the OP but here's one from 2 years ago. viewtopic.php?f=7&t=31719&start=270" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;gdanaher wrote:Can anyone provide factual or anecdotal examples of Texas LEO actions which would precipitate the feelings the OP has expressed? Sometimes we forget that Texas also begins at the state line, that this is not California, and no, the LAPD does not instruct our officers how to behave in public.
There also many stories of people being arbitrarily and capriciously disarmed because they showed their CHL. If they were carrying under MPA instead and kept their mouth shut like MPA allows, they wouldn't have been disarmed. There are also stories of people who had a CHL and weren't carrying so the law doesn't require them to show (or even carry) their CHL, and the cop hassled them because they didn't display the card. In a few cases, the bully said things that were borderline threats or even outright threats. Those stories are a good argument for not getting a Texas license.
Like steve817 said, it depends where you live. Some parts of Texas are still Texas, but some have more in common with NY or LA or Mexico City than the United States. There's also the risk of showing up on the radar of someone cut from the same cloth as Daniel Harless.
