I carry my gun EVERYWHERE except the secure area of an airport and penal institutions. That's IT!!
If I'm wearing clothes, outside of swimming trunks, I'm toting a pistol.

I guess time will tell, but wouldn't the number of officers who "it doesn't mean anything to 'em if you have a CHL" also increase? I am unlike most officers and can only answer for myself; I don't know. I think most reasonable, prudent thinking officers can tell who they're dealing with w...

If there is one thing I have learned in my life, and especially in my career, don't lie. Or don't fail to disclose.

I work in one of the CHL rich areas and I would say that one in twenty vehicles I stop have a CHL on board. However, I am usually working interdiction trying to find burglars, drunks, and druggies. If I see you have a CHL, I immediately know that you're not what I'm looking for (in most cases). Unle...

Woohoo!!!! League City FTW!!!! I don't want to hi-jack the thread, but I have wondered why League City is the leader in per capita CHLs. I guess some place has to be first. :cool: About a year ago, I was walking into the apartment office to pay rent, and the LCPD officer who lives two doors down fr...

I'd never want to rely on strictly my CHL though. I like to walk past PC30.06 signs and smile.

if you have a Texas Drivers License, or Texas Vehicle Registration, you have for all intent and purpose given Texas DPS probable cause to pull you over at any time. As a sworn peace officer of the state of Texas I am going to have to disagree. :tiphat: But, lets look at TRC 521, section B preferrab...

Very true.

We call them pre-text stops most of the time.

When a car leaves a crack house we dig deep into section 545 of the Transportation code.

And many LEO's got their CHL's prior to the LEOSA act so they could carry in other states if they went on vacation. It can also be a way to show why they have a gun on them if they get discovered and don't want to disclose they are a LEO. ;-) If I'm not mistaken didn't George Bush sign a law that a...

My Sgt. would be really mad if I came to work without a gun.

He would either tell me to go home, or make me work the jail.

If I carry (on duty) my Glock of course it's hot.

So why not carry my Kel-Tec with one ready to rip?

I think my Sgt. would be irritated of I showed up without my gun.
Actually, he'd tell me to go home.

I guess he didn't respond.

Way to be-little his dumb, sheeplike PC30.06 sign.

As a police officer in one more month I can see why citizens don't trust us like they once did.



But I am sure there is more to the story.

Yes I have been drawn on, back in 1988 I was Shot while I was on a Traffic stop that I was doing. I worked for a Small Sheriff department and stopped a 17 Y.O. for not having Tail lights. after getting his DL and insurance card, I was heading back to run him , when I turned to get in to my car he w...
