If he wasn't in a uniform, as a security officer he can't open carry and is subject to a UCW arrest.schufflerbot wrote:i was at a gas station recently and spotted a very large guy, wearing all black and open carrying a glock 19 on his right side. i thought it was odd, because he wasnt wearing a uniform... just black t-shirt and black slacks. he had a badge around his neck and once i was close enough to read what the markings were, i realized it was a security company badge.
my first thought was to ask him about the OC... then i realized it might be better to just leave a giant guy with a gun on his hip alone.
Granted, uniform requirements are pretty lax in Texas, but just a badge and black clothes won't cut it. Minimum uniform requirements are markings with the company name, the word "SECURITY" and the officer's last name. Technically, this can all be accomplished on a company ID card pinned to street clothes, but still...
