Re: Police not happy about relazation of TX CHL law

Does selective enforcement exist? We both know it does, always has and always will. I dont see us as in trouble. We have come a long long ways since the days of possessing a firearm outside your home was illegal. Instead of confronting the Union or our elected officials, why not engage them in constructive dialog. Granted it does not always work. We are seeing right now in D.C that the views of the people are being totally ignored for the views of a powerful few. Confrontation never works.

The next step is between now and the next legislature is for us as a law abiding community (CHL HOLDERS) to unite and and start to let the state reps and senators that voted down our bills, or quashed them in committee playing policitcal games, that our intent is to oust them from office. If all the CHL holders that live in the districts of the reps and senators who torpedoed the bills we backed were to call their reps and senators now, the tone would change in some. During the legisltature is the wrong time to start that process when opposing special interests are bombarding them too. Hit them now that they are home and in their districts. Dont be quiet about, be loud, respectful and show up in numbers at their offices and let them know as a community our intent is make them unemployed.
I disagree with the underlined statement, and contend that it contradicts what is underlined.

I believe that we should make sure that our votes count today and everyday, and be loud, informed and militant the rest of the time.

That's exactly why many do just that....the free "get out of jail" card.

I think he is referring to that specific phrase. I too doubt that they would put it that way.

I have three cop friends, one HPD, one LaPorte PD, one Baytown PD and a number of cop acquaintances who are all pro-CHL.

In fact, I've yet to know one who isn't.

So, please don't lump them all into a anti-CHL category.

It just isn't so.
:iagree:

Keep in mind that when you are stopped, you may not realize that you too are projecting an attitude (be it positive or negative). That can have alot of bearing on how the LEO handles your particular stop.

I always try to project courtesy (not fawning adoration), and I can only recall getting the same in return even while the LEO merrily writes my citation.

Re: Police not happy about relazation of TX CHL law

Wow, I have lived here in Houston since '99 and have yet to experience all this hostility from HPD or HCSD.

Those who still belive CHL holders are putting officers at risk need to visit this link and do a bit of reading. Do you think an LEO in trouble is going to be concerned with seeing your permit before you start firing to save their lives.

This guy needs to remove the blinders and take a look around. All LEO's have nothing to lose and everything to gain by having law abiding citizens armed and ready.

I have never understood why any LEO would disarm a CHL holder during a traffic stop when they are most open to an assault from unseen foes. While working as a SD in Colorado years ago we had an off duty officier working at a local bank. Two BG's entered, saw the deputy, and immeadiatly killed him and fled the scene. They gave up the idea of robbing the bank, and just killed the officer. LEO's make new enemys every day, and never know when they may try to even the score.
Articles like that should be mandatory reading for all on-duty LEO's at least once a year. That would include from the Chief/Sheriff on down...
