No test case yet, on whether the police need probable cause to stop a person openly carrying a modern pistol in Texas.

What they didn’t mention in the article was that the gentleman who was arrested will most likely sue the city that arrested him. And will likely prevail.

We had a rash of these sorts of cases I guess about 10 years ago in Virginia. After paying out several 5 figure settlements, most cities have wisely decided to knock it off. Plus open carry is now more common.

So am I understanding correctly. In order to open carry in Texas you must have a CCW permit?

It’s a sure sign of a police state, when the LEOs don’t have a clue about The Law, aka The Constitution, but instead are used to keep the sheep in line on the way to the abattoir.

No words anywhere detailing the ARREST of the Police Officer for FELONY KIDNAPPING, FALSE IMPRISONMENT, Using a FIREARM during the Commission of a VIOLENT FELONY....

Not a single word about ALL HIS ACCOMPLICES in the JAIL either.

When they start getting PROSECUTED for Their LAWLESS BEHAVIOR, then and only then will I begin to Respect ANY GANG BANGER WITH A MAGIC BLUE COSTUME

Any permit or licensing requirement is a violation of the rights protected by the second amendment, period!
