I'm a State Trooper in Texas and the police can disarm a CHL holder during a routine traffic stop for safety purposes, but it must be returned at the end of the contact. We can't just seize it and not return it for no reason. Now say for instance, a CHL holder commits an offense, the CHL will be seized and if they have there weapon on them, that will be temporary seized and can be picked up after there out of jail, but the CHL is gone. Now of course if the weapon is used in the offense, it will be held as evidence. Also, like revjen said, if you have a CHL your required by law to inform the officer when stopped whether or not your carrying at the time. As far as being able to barge into someones house and take all there weapons, thats ridiculous. I don't know of any place that this can happen without a warrant, except for maybe New Orleans.
