I know the definition of the word. I want to know what Art Acevedo thinks he's going to do to accomplish that, the actual real-world steps. I think he's full of hot air.

Society can easily defend itself from Evil without instituting a "witch hunt" for gun owners.

True. But I can see your on person weapon removed and perhaps not immediately returned. I would never consent to a search, the trunk for example, but would not resist if they did anyway. I wouldn't cooperate but wouldn't resist. Mainly note my lack of consent for the record.

Not so fast...

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. The peace officer shall return the handgun to the license holder before discharging the license holder from the scene if the officer determines that the license holder is not a threat to the officer, license holder, or another individual and if the license holder has not violated any provision of this subchapter or committed any other violation that results in the arrest of the license holder.

It's worth the costs of that legal battle just to see them squirm.

That's for the house. The car is different, especially with a non-anonymous complaint.

True, but worse case from the car they confiscate 1 or 2 firearms.
