While some were hassled, a couple were charged and those that were, were too many. I believe the actual numbers in Harris county were actually not that high. The reason was is that most of the police understood the law better than Chucky did.Sig Guy wrote:while i know everyone who legally carried a weapon in their car under the old traveling law were not arrested,many were,especially Harris countypacksaddle wrote:i worked for DPS for many years.
most LEO's appreciate law-abiding citizens carrying firearms in a legal manner.
many law abiding citizens were arrested and had to get lawyers and go to court to prove their were legal under the traveling law

By not confirming whether there are weapons or not, the officer might be given reason to search the subject body and vehicle for their own safety.seamusTX wrote:As I understand it, you are legally required to produce a driver license and proof of financial responsiblity.
You may be required to affirm that you are the person named on the driver license. I'm not clear on that.
You are not required to answer any other question. However, it is illegal to lie.
If they ask if they can search the vehicle, it's probably best to say No. Silence could be taken as consent.
As usual, I am not a lawyer.
