Black doesn't help because unlicensed open-carry was legal. That's a major legal distinction.mr1337 wrote:Can't forget US v. Black and Terry v. Ohio!Charles L.

The Chief and Galveston County DA both are aware that hospitals and nursing homes are off-limits only if a CHL is given notice under TPC §30.06. One guy was laughed out of the building after his absurd anti-gun speech/question. Overall, the part I saw from the head table was good. All three at the table stated that CHLs are law-abiding people and there's nothing to fear. The Chief told people this is the new normal so get used to it.
Everyone at the table believes that a LEO is justified in demanding an ID and CHL/LTC from anyone carrying openly. I thought about asking how the DA was going to square that with Delaware v. Prouse, but decided against it. They were clearly supportive of gun owners and I didn't want to make it confrontational when it wouldn't change anyone's mind. I also wasn't going to listen to more pro/anti garbage to stand in line.
