I thought about that (lol) but I know there are some freeper cops around and didn't want to insult the "good guys" I'm just impressed his gun was returned. In Texas they have to be concealed and can be taken at any officers whim and you have to go to the station to get them back.

I know, I'm in Texas. I like the Arizona law though.

So there's no open carry, and CCW is by permission only? Gee, I guess there's no right to defend one's life in Texas - only a government-dispensed privilege.

This is not correct. Unless you are arrested he has to give your gun back at the scene.

GC §411.207. AUTHORITY OF PEACE OFFICER TO DISARM. A peace officer who is acting in the lawful discharge of the officer's official duties may disarm a license holder at any time the officer reasonably believes it is necessary for the protection of the license holder, officer, or another individual. The peace officer shall return the handgun to the license holder before discharging the license holder from the scene if the officer determines that the license holder is not a threat to the officer, license holder, or another individual and if the license holder has not violated any provision of this subchapter or committed any other violation that results in the arrest of the license holder.
