“Unusually Zealous” Open CarryBY Herschel Smith, 05 Jan 2016 “What a lot of police are worried about is not that there’s gonna be open carry, but that there’s going to be a deliberate effort to exercise that right in what I might characterize as an ‘unusually zealous’ way,” said Corn. “And there can be a lot of chaos in those circumstances.” www.captainsjournal.com/2016/01/04/unusually-zealous-open-carry/

Texas LEOs: Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... Why shouldn't they be able to check a permit? Well that would be due to the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th and 6th Amendments to the Constitution that they swore an oath to protect. 'Open-carry' in Texas causing confusion for law enforcementBy Casey Stegall Published January 06, 2016 FoxNews.com Gun-rights advocates in Texas had a lot to celebrate with the start of 2016. On Jan. 1, the state’s “open-carry” law went into effect allowing licensed gun owners to visibly carry a handgun in most public places. “It feels great,” said Christopher Carmen Sr., among the first to take advantage of the new law -- enjoying a cup of coffee outside Austin on New Year’s Day with a pistol strapped to his side for all to see. “I want to say that I have more freedom. I just feel safer.” But the law also is causing some confusion in the law enforcement community, where officers are unclear how far they can go to check licenses. www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/01/06/open-carry-in-texas-causing-confusion-for-law-enforcement.html?intcmp=latestnews
