Worth noting that records for people in Texas with a License To Carry are computerized - a cop will know it when they pull you over and run your plates. Not saying this is a bad thing, just worth noting.
- hga 10y agoI'm sure that's true in any state with a CCW licensing regime, I know it is in Missouri, which has a system cutely named MULES. But those are set up to deter fishing expeditions, for they contain a lot of sensitive information, such as arrest records as well as charges, convictions, outstanding warrants, etc. More infamously, some states share that info, Florida with Maryland, where travelers have been pulled over and hassled about whether they've got a gun, which due to the FOPA of '86 safe passage protections, probably doesn't even apply when they're just passing through the state (in the case mentioned below, the gun owner has no legal way to possesses it in NJ, so left it behind in his safe). See e.g. http://www.tbo.com/list/columns-tjackson/jackson-gun-owner-unarmed-unwelcome-in-maryland-20140112/ http://www.tbo.com/list/columns-tjackson/jackson-gun-owner-u... which is what a police state looks like.
