Every time it happens. It will be good fodder if the amendment comes up again.
I think this is probably the best response with the addition of making it 100% plain that you are complying under duress (it is a non-consensual encounter after all). When completing the FOIA request, also ask for any dispatch notes, 911 Calls, dash cam video and all other material related to the non-consensual encounter. It avoids antagonizing on the spot, shows that CHL holders are very reasonable people and also allows them to hoist themselves on their own petard.

If this happens often enough and enough complaints are filed at the local and state level, eventually officers and their leaders will get the hint and train accordingly.
I'm in Houston, and I think the leading forces of HPD and Harris County would take complaints from OCers as badges of honor.

Re: HB 910 Conference Committee

So, I have a question now that it looks like we may get OC without the Huffines/Dutton.
I am walking down the street, pistol in a holster on my hip, I have a CHL and am Open Carrying, and just walking, minding my own business. Can a cop come up and ask for my license? Would I legally have to give it to him? Can I tell him no, that I have a CHL but don't wish to give it to him, that it's included in the 4th amendment? I know that the penal code says that I must produce my license if I am concealed carrying, just wondering how all this would go with OC.
Thanks.
