disarmed by Friendswood PD

[lunchbox]

Thats right i was on my bike and got pulled over for out of date registration and was promptly disarmed without cause.

The officer acted as if this was the SOP

[kitty]

Well, they have the right to do that, but still. Did he give you back your gun?

[lunchbox]

I got it back
my problem was that there was no cause for doing so the proceeded to question me on why i was carrying 3 guns witch frankly is none of his business.
i know both of these cops that showed up to the parking lot i pulled into they didn't recognize me but i have sold things to both of them. As i work at a police supply store

You are correct, however they may disarm only under certain conditions.


§ 411.207. AUTHORITY OF PEACE OFFICER TO DISARM. (a) A
peace officer who is acting in the lawful discharge of the officer's
official duties may disarm a license holder at any time the officer
reasonably believes it is necessary for the protection of the
license holder, officer, or another individual. The peace officer
shall return the handgun to the license holder before discharging
the license holder from the scene if the officer determines that the
license holder is not a threat to the officer, license holder, or
another individual and if the license holder has not violated any
provision of this subchapter or committed any other violation that
results in the arrest of the license holder.



I have questions concerning the "reasonableness" of some of these incidents. Some of them smack of "policy".

Thats my point exactly there was no cause i was not violent nor did i raise my voice at anytime i simple handed over my 2 forms of ID and then was disarmed and it was removed from my person not me removing it and handing it to him

Were they rude to you and treat you like a common criminal? I'm just curious. Can you file a complaint about it?

[lunchbox]

it was on the verge of being rude
they had a whole different attitude once they found out where i work

[lunchbox]

i doubt lodging a complaint will go anywhere but i will ask the chief the next time i see him

[kitty]

I'm really sorry this happened to you. Talk about a bad day. Is this something that happens often with the Friendswood PD? It might be something to look into.

[lunchbox]

that was just the begining of the bad day on the way to get the registration later that afternoon my bike started acting up and i had to divert to a shop close by and will be spending 300 of more to fix it now i have no transportation at all

I hope you find some transportation.

[lunchbox]

So, you're saying the next time they buy anything made of fabric or leather, the dog might be permanently interested in it?

No and I'm surprised it happened this time. My wife and son have been stopped by FPD and never disarmed. Me too.
