Haven't we(the entire forum) had this debate about a bazaillion times in the past 2 weeks. Or 6 months for that matter?

Simple answer? Yes. ONLY if the officer has reason to.

I'm not on this forum all the time and wanted a strait answer. Your answer contradicts itself. My question is, can a LEO stop a person open carrying without probable cause and demand to see their CHL just because they are open carrying?

I knew there was a amendment preventing LEOs from doing that and I didn't know if it passed with the bill.

The amendment was useless. Do you think someone who doesn't respect the constitution would respect the wording of the amendment?

So police can stop a person and demand them to present their CHL solely on a visible firearm being worn?

Since I don't know how Twitter works, I can't say if all tweets under a hashtag show up in two places or only one. Remember Sen. Ellis' and West's support of the Huffines Amendment? Chas.

Keith Elkins, Communications Director for the Lt. Governor told Breitbart Texas the Senate will work with the House tomorrow to try and resolve the different versions and get concurrence. Governor Abbott has consistently said he would sign whatever open carry bill came to his desk. However, a Friday evening tweet by the Governor made some wonder if he was signaling a possible veto of the bill if it contained the Dutton/Huffines amendment.

Great ! More drama !

I don't tweet, but I'd sure like to see what he said & not just a reference to it by a 3rd party.

Don't see anything from the Gov last night saying that.

WE NEED THIS BILL PASSED.....HELP!!!

What are our options? How do we get Huffines to withdraw his amendment?
