I guess to expand on my point, the website preamble to all the stories is that CHL carriers can help, but then lists stories that probably aren't relevant to a CHL helping. That was my point. Sorry to confuse! Here is a dancing banana:RPB wrote:True, couldda been carrying under the MPA, my point was, and some officers might lecture ...LAYGO wrote:Maybe . . . MAYBE . . . a third of those were by actual CHL holders. The rest were just people getting a weapon & using an existing one, not necessarily a perfect example of a CHL holder coming to the rescue.RPB wrote:If I was with DPS, I'd probably issue citations to any CHL who wasn't carrying too.
(Kidding, but I'd tell them to start carrying, in case I need help some day.)

Jul 16, 1999 Houston: Texan Travis Neel helped save a wounded Harris County deputy sheriff's life. Witnessing the shooting by one of a trio of Houston gang members after a traffic stop just west of Houston, Neel--who was on his way to his pistol range--pulled his gun and fired, driving the officer's assailants away. An off-duty sheriff's deputy also came on the scene and joined Neel in covering the deputy, whose life was saved by his body armor. The trio was captured after a manhunt.
a CHL SHOULD be armed, where those in a car COULD be armed. I wasn't using it as an example that a CHL did anything.
I used to gripe at a retired LEO in my church who's a CHL when he didn't carry and he'd reply "Why should I? You're wearing four ... toss me one." But, he does carry now.
