Re: No CHL and traffic stop while carrying in vehicle.

I'd love to see it happen, but I'm not holding my breath.

I currently carry with IWB holsters, but it's a pain because of my body shape.
I can't conceal a OWB holster as well as IWB, and tucking-in is out of the question.

Open carry would be beneficial by giving me peace-of-mind that I won't be arrested if my OWB holster is revealed. Heck, It's a great conversation tool as well...
I'd probably go all-out on July 4th, though... Colt Cowboy SAA .45 in a leather belt holster, amond cowboy hat, boots and red, white and blue on the truck. :txflag:

Although, I'll put my dollar on Harris County Cops adding about 100 lbs. to their badge weight in abuse and harassment. :grumble

Re: No CHL and traffic stop while carrying in vehicle.

Elvis and I obviously disagree on the legal requirement for showing a CHL during an interaction with law enforcement. I would still do it even if the law is changed for the reasons I've stated, but that's beside the point. Elvis wants his officers to know of the gun; I don't want a CHL facing suspension and/or a Class B conviction for forgetting to show a CHL. This difference of opinion doesn't turn natural allies into enemies. It doesn't mean I don't care about his officers' lives, nor does it mean he is showing contempt for CHLs.
Solution:

LEGALIZE OPEN CARRY!!!! :biggrinjester: :clapping: :thewave :patriot:
