Re: Texas Capitol - State Trooper Contact

He was in a rush to get to a restroom, so I went through the express and waited for him while my mom stood in line with him for the metal detectors. He went through before her, and I took over the rest of the relay.

It was a longish line, so I had hoped they could just wand him. I know there would have to be some age cut-off if they allowed a tag-along, but if I were alone and carrying an infant (and a handgun), could I not go in?

I don't know, I would think that since you are definitely legal to carry, that a child with you would be exempted, after all, you are providing the proper documentation. I don't see what danger there would be in letting a child go through. (maybe an issue to take up with our representatives?)

I thought that LEO's could only ask for the LTC if they had reasonable suspicion that a crime was being committed, not just because you are carrying a gun.

But in the grand scheme of things, it's not a huge deal, as long as it doesn't spread to other locations.

It's done by the DPS the same agency that issues LTC, it's just a verification process. I like the fact that it, for once, puts LTC holders into the "express lane" :thumbs2:
