Re: Running Serial Numbers of weapons of CHL holders.

Why not simply insist that agencies enforce the law as written?

Couldn't the attorney general opine in an opinion requested by someone friendly to our cause that disarming a CHL holder, as standard operating procedure, simply for generic "officer safety" with no behavior suggesting the CHLer is actually a danger to himself or others doesn't pass muster?

Couldn't the governor's office work with DPS to train all of their personnel, and thereby serve as an example for other agencies, that such as practice is a violation of the spirit if not the letter of the law and will not be tolerated?

Couldn't gubernatorial appointees or others at TCLEOSE be pursuaded to include this in officer training and continuing education?

Couldn't district/county attorneys instruct the agencies in their jurisdiction that they disapprove of such a practice?

In short, the law seems to strike the right balance but it isn't being enforced properly.
