Humm. Did he happen to tell you which bill that was?
This is the first I have heard of that.

No, and darn it, I didn't think to ask.

I would be surprised if they allow firearms to be carried by non LE personel at ANY time.

Change in CHL law taking effect September bars CHLs from secure portions of police facilities. The Lt. in charge of the Academy told us that after September 1 we couldn't have our guns with us except in the lobby since that is the only portion of the Police Building in Beaumont that is open to the public. The classes were taught at the County Jail Facility so no guns were ever allowed there.

I went through the CPA put on by Beaumont, Port Arthur, Jefferson County and Lamar Institute of Technology in '02 and have been active in Alumni ever since. My wife took the class in '04 and is the present Alumni Secretary. It is a great program and will give you a better understanding of what policing is all about. Pursuit driving was my favorite!

Google "citizen's police academy" theres tons of them out there. Check your local agency's website to see if they have one.
