If these bills pass, I guess my next question would be?..... Normally, one of the first questions from an LEO is whether you have any weapons?
What does this mean to that question? I won't lie to an LEO no matter how many lawyers give advice to the contrary.
You know the LEO is going to ask that question no matter what it says in a bill.

If I didn't have a CHL, what would the proper answer be based on the law making it legal to carry in 2007 in you private vehicle concealed?.....Do you ask the LEO if he has cause or a warrant? I'm sure discussing the legislation would go a long way toward a friendly stop. I can't imagine saying that it isn't any of their business and coming out of it happily. I like good outcomes and happy endings.

I don't see the LEO not asking if you have any weapons. As nervous as they are on TV, you'd be in jepardy if you are armed and don't tell them.

To go a little further, I haven't been stopped in 20 years, either. Growing up, grandfather was a Texas Ranger, one Uncle was an Austin PD capt., and another a DPS trooper. Their friends were often LEO, all normal, reasonable folks. Somehow, I don't think it's that way anymore. I'm not sure what I expect, particularly the young, green ones. If accurate, cop shows on TV don't make me look forward to any future meetings with the law. Maybe it's too much TV.
