Do NOT run serial numbers (NCIC Check) of valid CHL holder's handguns. (PERIOD)

Perhaps because as the stats show,, Texas residents who have a valid CHL, do in fact commit crimes. From Domestic assault to DUI, theft to receiving stolen property to rape and murder. I would prefer those folks with a valid CHL have there weapons serial number run though a NCIC

If a LEO stops another LEO, (off-duty or otherwise) is it policy for the officer to check serial numbers on that gun in an effort to be thorough? Police Officers have been known to commit crimes as well...or is it just simple language to commit to policy? The language in the law says REASONABLY feels for a good reason.

My problem is not so much being disarmed as it is with being disarmed as a matter of policy. Disarming a person for any reason is dangerous and should not be done on a whim. I don't feel a CHLer needs to have their serial numbers ran as a matter of course, we are not common criminals, we have had background checks and our statistics put us in the VERY bottom of conviction rates.


Off rant...

1.Firearms and Other Weapons (knives, blackjack, club, etc.). When a firearm comes into the possession of a DPS officer, for any reason, the officer will check with NCIC for a possible stolen report.
a.
A firearm seized and held for any reason will have a copy of NCIC check attached to the HQ-106 or HQ-114.

This does not clarify under what guidelines a LEO, DPS or otherwise is going to disarm me. The rule does not say or even imply that the officer HAS to disarm me, only that if he/she does they HAVE to run a NCIC check and only if it is held do they have to attach a copy...INAL.
