On this we agree 100%.Papa_Tiger wrote:That being said, show the officer your license and you will be on your way. The street corner is not the place to be playing lawyer with an officer who is ignorant of the law. Follow it up after the fact with a complaint to his superiors including Open Records requests for the stop video as well as any 911 calls and other documentation if you are concerned about it.

Re: AG opinion on SB11
Terry stop, RS, PC or not, the Government Code explicitly authorizes an officer to make the stop and check for a license. No opinion is needed. Until the leg changes GC 411, it's legal.

Re: AG opinion on SB11
Carrying a handgun, concealed or openly, is a crime in Texas. That's RS/PC enough for the stop.locke_n_load wrote:Is there no opinion requested for police demanding ID for Open Carriers without any other suspicion/cause?
An LTC makes the law not apply (which is NOT the same as an exception in terms of the penal code), but you can't know that until after the stop.
Sucks, but that's the way it is.
