Which law is that?

If you would read this thread you would have seen it posted several times.

GC §411.207. AUTHORITY OF PEACE OFFICER TO DISARM.
(a) A peace officer who is acting in the lawful discharge of the officer's
official duties may disarm a license holder at any time the officer
reasonably believes it is necessary for the protection of the license holder,
officer, or another individual.
I find your post to be rather disturbing. I may be reading it incorrectly, but when later challenged, wouldn't the officer be required to explain the safety reason for disarming? I see nothing in the law that says, "because an officer said so...."
