Me, the wife and a friend all took the CHP class at Shooters USA in Bossier yesterday given by Bossier officer Russell Cox and I was very happy with it right up the point where someone, not one of us, brought up open carry and Officer Cox stated: "Open Carry IS legal BUT, if we get a man with a gun call you WILL BE ARRESTED FOR DISTURBING THE PEACE." I choked but kept my mouth shut. That wasn't the time and place to call him on it.
The only new info I garnered was that he said you couldn't carry in a hospital because it was against the law to carry where the infirm were. This is a new one on me and one I will investigate. NOTE: I haven't found a thing supporting this!
The other was that it was illegal to carry ANYWHERE with controlled access (metal detector and/or frisk) such as at a sporting event, that being the sole criteria. Again, I want to see the cite for this one. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just that I thought I was up on the laws and this is the first I have heard of this. NOTE: I haven't found a thing supporting this!
And finally, I will leave you with this gem from the class: "By having a CHP, you have given the police Probable Cause to search you!"
