Concealed handgun laws: Houston police wary of revised gun law
A small change in concealed handgun laws has created safety concerns among Houston police officers who work the streets.
The new law removes the penalty for failing to show a police officer a concealed handgun license (CHL) when stopped by an officer who asks for identification. The law went into effect Sept. 1. Previously, if a person was carrying a hidden weapon and failed to present the CHL, they could lose the license for one year. Houston police officers suggested that licensed handgun holders continue to show their credentials, even if not required to by the law. It will defuse any potential problems or miscommunications, they said. More... Houston police wary of revised gun law | Houston & Texas News | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle |
