Welcome! Hope you stick around; this is a great place to learn about CHL matters.

Thank you, there is some interesting stuff on here. I've had my CHL for 3 years now, but have never been on here before.

...he is employed a University Policeman. My guess is that he stays alive more by virtue of the envirionment..than having quickly assessed the dynamic situations involved in breaking up a fight and telling folks to turn their music down.

Again, i don't know him personally, but as someone who knows many local officers and listens to a radio frequently i do know that many nights a week Erath County has 1 deputy on duty at night expected to cover 1000 square miles, therefore they often rely on Tarleton officers and DPS to assist with all kinds of calls. So in the years he's been there i would venture to say he has had a wide variety of experience assisting on many types of calls on and off campus.

I just found this site this morning, i spent all week last week reading the message board on the empire tribune. I live in Stephenville, right down the street from Chili (don't know him personally though). I am a CHL holder, and a single father of 3 young boys. I didn't read all 13 pages but maybe to help clarify i did hear that he was carrying a .380. Also, i don't know his exact height but i'm 6'3" and he is quite a bit shorter than me. I'm a little surprised at some of the opinions on here, being a CHL Forum, about him getting away with it only because he is a LEO. I also expected this to be very different than the postings on the empiretribune.com website. I would have done exactly the same thing. This is so cut and dry, i cannot believe there is this much discussion about it. Though i never want to have to pull the trigger i would in a new york minute. There was no way for him to know the history of that dog at that exact moment, and i seriously doubt he pulled the trigger just cause he knew he could get away with it. He has caught plenty of crap here in "rumorville", especially from our biased newspaper, which has had a front page article for 6 days running now. Like i said, i don't know him personally, but i do know that he is very well respected and liked amongst all the college students and the community and to my knowledge has never been in any kind of trouble for anything like this in many years of service to our community. I know there are some corrupt LEO's in the world but the amount of distrust in law enforcement, especially with CHL holders, bothers me a little bit. Cheers to Chili!!!! The dog owner broke the law, he did not. IMO, there is nothing to investigate any further!
