Interesting--it was the day after his birthday. Guess he didn't have a good birthday...Ironic perhaps, John, you posted that on the anniversary date of the Luby massacre.

You do realize that cops can get in quite a bit of trouble for arresting someone who hasn't committed a crime?
Should a cop take classes and/or be expected to be knowledgeable? Only if he's going to ARREST someone for what he thinks is going on. If not, he shouldn't arrest. Or he should seek more information from his superiors.
There is something ghastly wrong with a society that will accept a "lock 'em up and sort it out later" mentality from its public servants.
Sorry I have carried my BP Pistol and Bowie in Butternutt Uniform and I questioned one time. The sarge got up told the rookie to set back down and eat , told me sorry an and asked where I was renacting at.@sf46
Re-enactors don't carry on the way to events, if they did they might have to answer some questions. Once at the event they are on private property where there is not a problem.
I wore my Dragoon once when on the bike heading to an outdoor range in Livingston. When I got there the owner asked if I'd had that hog leg on my hip going down the road, I answered in the affirmative. This is when he politely informed this Wyoming boy about the open carry laws in Texas and that I was courting an interview with at the least a constable. On the other hand the 1911 fully loaded in my shoulder holster was perfectly fine.
Any links??My state rep responded that hearings on the subject were planed and that "review of the officers conduct" is in progress by DPS. So, generally our reps are in favor of changing TX law to allow open carry. This might be something to further that movement.
I've talked with one TSRA employee and another person who does works closely with TSRA and they both indicate that there isn't much support from the membership to push for open carry and that's why they haven't pursued it.So, generally our reps are in favor of changing TX law to allow open carry.
It might, or it might not. It could rally enough support from the TSRA membership to mobilize TSRA support for the law, or it might not. Given the information I've gotten from the TSRA, I wouldn't bet on a positive outcome. From what I have gathered, there isn't much mainstream support for open carry in TX. And I'm talking mainstream gun owners, not mainstream general population."A permanent restriction" may very well get enough press that the legislators would take action to change the law.
