Even in Texas the safety of the law enforcement officer comes before “I’m in possession of my legally owned licensed firearm as the 2nd amendment in our constitution gives me that right “
The Texas Legislature has addressed this very question. Texas Government Code § 411.207 says police officers may disarm an LTC holder if the officer reasonably believes it is necessary to secure the firearm for the protection of the officer or any other individual. After the encounter, if the officer determines that the individual is not a threat and has not committed a crime, then the police officer must return the firearm. However, the Government Code does not detail how the gun must be returned, or how long police may hold onto it.
But please keep thinking escalation is your best choice.
