Prosecution under the letter of the law SHOULD NOT occur. But as I have stated more than once on this board I see the day, ( I hope I am wrong) where some employer calls the police, the police officer is not real pro CHL, so he/she makes the arrest after confering with the not real pro CHL assistant district attorney (Harris County) who agrees to accept charges under the premise that the desired and stated intent of the owner supercedes the right of the licencsee, in that the desired or stated intent was known to the employee via the employee handbook. The judge, also not real pro chl, states that the SPIRIT of the law in his mind is that the owner has a greater right to than does the licensee. And the SPIRIT of the law, regardless of wording in the penal code is applied erroneously.
Like i said, I hope I am wrong. But I have seen our courts do dumber things when the law I thought was pretty clear. Personally I wish the legistature would simplify the issue by removing all restrictions on CHL on where they can and cannot carry, except for in a bar or while intoxicated and give business owners immunity from civil process for the actions of a CHL holder on their property.
Just my opinion. If you dont agree exercsie your right to disagree, print this puppy out and use it for toilet paper.
