If DPS mistakenly issues a license to someone who isn't eligible, I think they can correct the mistake.

If the LEO runs the license and identifies you as a CHL holder, and then asks if you are armed, you could say yes, and apologize for your oversight while then handing over the CHL.

This would at least allow for the possibility that the LEO would not ask the "are you armed" follow up question, and there would be no disarming. Also, since the encounter might well be over or close to over by the point that the LEO discovered the CHL to be carrying, there would seem to be less of a need to disarm due to "officer safety" concerns.

I agree it would preclude that.. Is that what we want?

An officer to not have the ability to check a weapon taken from a CHL'er though NCIC?
Or do we wish to place limitations on that ability?

AGAIN,, ME, MY OPINION... I simple wish to place limitations on when a officer can run a weapon though NCIC.

Minor violations.. = No NCIC check... though I understand that I may still be disarmed should the officer feel there is any reasonable (in his mind) safety issue.

Serious violations (yet to be properly defined) = ability to do NCIC check

Do NOT run serial numbers (NCIC Check) of valid CHL holder's handguns. (PERIOD)

Perhaps because as the stats show,, Texas residents who have a valid CHL, do in fact commit crimes. From Domestic assault to DUI, theft to receiving stolen property to rape and murder. I would prefer those folks with a valid CHL have there weapons serial number run though a NCIC

You go right ahead and volunteer to have yours run for NCIC check. Do not speak for me, thank you very much.
