I watched this broadcast, When have the Houston Police Dept ever been happy that the citizens are allowed to possess a CHL? and even more of a surprise the Media doesn't like it either!! At least one senator made a good point by sayint the CHL holders are Texas's most upstanding law abiding citizens due to the process to obtain a CHL. If I was a LEO I would not be worried about a CHL holder who does or not disclose his weapon. I would be more worried about the gang banger who has one and will never disclose that fact during any type of a Stop!!

I will show my CHL when stopped as long as I am carrying!

Your right about the Houston police and their stance on CHLers. Was it not Houston that rejected the right to carry while traveling for quite awhile, just after the measure was passed into law? I think I remember my CHL instructer telling us a story about the Houston Police arbitrarily arresting folks for it.

It seems that there is a correlation between the size of the City and the amount of anti-chl sentiment. The larger cities sure seem to have more of an issue with anyone owning a gun than the smaller cities. Houston is huge and cancerous with crime. The police there probably feel like they are in a war zone at times. It is somewhat natural for them to want something/anything they can blame for the crime.

I dunno...just some random thoughts on why larger cities are more anti-gun than smaller ones.
