We know how chl holders behave....the least likely folks to ever intentionally commit a crime. The chances of anyone open carrying is pretty slim anyway, and then the odds that they would be doing so illegally are even more remote. Remember that the weapon must be in a proper holster, so someone displaying a .357 jammed into his pants might just be subject to suspicion anyway.

Help me out here. Maybe I am overlooking something, or y'all have overlooked something. So the proposed law says an officer can't inquire of the citizen if he is license to open carry. This might not be a problem. The officer sees a guy meandering down the street and he surmises that the citizen is intoxicated. He is still allowed to ask for identification. Not the chl license perhaps, but the drivers license. He calls dispatch, passes on the subject's name, dob, etc., and the dispatcher reports back the information on the screen, which includes chl license information, right? If no license, and the subject has a 1911 on his hip, then we have a felony, don't we? Nobody had to ask the guy to present the chl. The police should already know based on the other ID.

Perhaps move the date of enactment from Sept 1 to January 1 to agree with Senate?

It's all designed to delay and postpone the inevitable.

Liability insurance??? Really?
