So that makes Texas one of 19 states which allow folks to be arrested for trespass without first being asked to leave. The good news is that there are 31 other states where you don't have to stress unless someone asks you to leave first. Of course in some of those states, carrying at all is very difficult.anygunanywhere wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 2:59 pm States with no gun signs have force of law.

Re: Guns & Ammo's annual ranking of gun-friendly states
I think both of these are pretty big factors. They are definitely infringements, putting aside my personal beliefs on each.Jago668 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 9:49 amI know on many of them constitutional carry weighs heavily in the ranking. Another we get dinged on is we have legally enforceable no gun signs. I don't know how this one was done, but I've seen those two things mentioned in other rankings.The Annoyed Man wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2019 9:35 amSo, after reading these two rankings, how does Montana rank ahead of Texas? (....and why isn’t Texas #1 or #2?10. Texas
Governor Greg Abbott probably set a record in 2019 when he signed 10 separate pro-gun bills into law. One of the bills allows school employees to keep guns locked in their cars on campus parking lots. Texas is, as many would suspect, a pro-gun state across the board. It gets high marks for a strong CCW law that include Open Carry and strong Use of Force laws, and its lack of restrictions on Black Rifles, magazines or NFA items. Some of the most impressive range facilities in the nation reside in Texas’ wide-open spaces. (2018 rank: 9)
9. Montana
The same governor that vetoed the Permitless Carry bill in 2017, vetoed a firearm preemption bill this year. The former Attorney General has not exactly been a friend to gun owners in this otherwise extremely gun-friendly state. Montana gets eight points for its Shall Issue permit system, and ten points in every other category. The state is a hunting mecca and has a thriving gun industry presence. (2018 rank: 8))
