I have three cop friends, one HPD, one LaPorte PD, one Baytown PD and a number of cop acquaintances who are all pro-CHL.

In fact, I've yet to know one who isn't.

So, please don't lump them all into a anti-CHL category.

It just isn't so.

Keep in mind that when you are stopped, you may not realize that you too are projecting an attitude (be it positive or negative). That can have alot of bearing on how the LEO handles your particular stop.

I always try to project courtesy (not fawning adoration), and I can only recall getting the same in return even while the LEO merrily writes my citation.

I am not sure about the resistance of the HPD for law abiding folks to possess handguns, or the past cases....... I can say a few of my friends were disarmed during routine traffic stops in Houston, and handed their ammo back to them one round at a time!! HPD has a hard job, that I would not want, but I will not find myself in Houston without my gun when no HPD officers are not around and if they (HPD) can not respect that, they have a real problem!! Houston is rampant with crime and I will protect myself or property!!

I had an accident (rearended by a drunk) that left me real woozy a few years back. My pistol flew from the console interior to who knows where. No chl but just arriving in houston from Dallas. I was sitting on the seat edge when i saw it under the mat. I had told one of the officers it was somewhere already so some wrecker driver or assistant did not "wander off" with it. When I picked it up the EMS tech got all panicky and called the officer over. All the HPD cop said was "I know, he told me." and never even looked over. They did take it since I was not in any shape to handle it and gave it back later that night. Ammo was out in a baggy. They didnt seem too anti gun then. I really think it depends on the officer involved and current push by the higher ups.
