If handog's pics indicate wreckless carry, I'm in heep big trouble.

I can't argue with most of that. The part of the story I don't like (if accurate) is the cocky attitude after everyone knew what was what. Not gonna get your gun back, not gonna get your CHL back, etc.

I can only speak for myself but I appreciate you letting us in on this. It's the kind of thing I want to have in the back of my mind all the time. The more we carry the better the chance something like that could happen even if it is remote. Even if the truth is somewhere in the middle we need to think about it. Even gigag04 understands there are bad cops out there so why is it so hard to believe there could be one in Round Rock.

I have no doubt there are officers out there that are anti CHL and even anti 2nd amendment. My best friend was pulled over for speeding by a DPS on his way to work at 6:30 AM. He handed the DPS his DL and CHL just like we are tought to do. The DPS asked him, are you carrying now? No,I'm on my way to work but it is in the console. Would you mind if I search you? Well I guess not. My friend is a supervison at the plant. While he's being searched on the side of the highway people that work under him and over him, etc are driving by. Now, did the DPS have the right? Yes but why? He has a CHL so why would he lie? It was unnecessary. Unnecessary embarrassment. Police officers want to be treated with respect, so do citizens.

I wouldn't want them giving my name to anyone, I'm not giving theirs. I do talk to 2 of them regularly, I'm gonna follow up with them about it. Don't think I'm someone with an ax to grind with LEO's. I'm 56 yrs old, never been arrested or been near a jail. I've had one ticket in 30 yrs and I've never personnally had the slightest problem .

No I can't. They are my friends. I can tell you that one of them is the number 2 man in the PD in the town I'm talkin about. What's even worse in his case he didn't know until informed him of the change in the law that allows for carry in your vehicle with or without a CHL. The law change was about 2 yrs old at the time. Can you see how someone could get wrongly "cuffed and stuffed"?

I agree with that, not so sure I agree that LEO's are that informed on the law, I know too many that are not
