A friend of mine from California asked me a couple of days ago if he would be able to lawfully carry in Texas if he came out to visit me once constitutional carry has gone into effect. I told him that I wasn’t absolutely certain, but that I didn’t see why not.

Then a customer asked me today if constitutional carry in Texas was going to be available to anyone visiting the state, or only to Texas residents. Again, I said I don’t see why it would not be available to all, but I thought I should verify that answer here before I answer again somewhere else.

Thoughts?

I see nothing in the bill itself that says that a person has to be a resident of Texas.

So with passage of constitutional carry and the elimination of the LTC system we are now subject to mandatory NICS background checks on new purchases. What is there to stop CUJ from imposing additional restrictions on these checks like a waiting period or simply slow walking checks? Seems to me like we are ignorantly giving away more than we are getting with constitutional carry.

That means that unlicensed Texas will be able to carry in tens of thousands of locations that are currently off-limits to license holders due to 30.06 and 30.07 signs. That seems kind of backwards...

I mentioned above that 30.06/30.07 only apply to carry "under the authority of your LTC". If a location (after 9/1) doesn't post a 30.05, but for some reason only a 30.06/7 then you could carry past the signs just like an unlicensed carrier. Reason being you don't need the authority of your LTC to carry, so therefore you're not (carrying under its authority). If this were not the case then currently, a peace officer who happened to have a LTC couldn't carry past a sign either. If one was not convinced by that, one could leave their LTC in the car, as technically you can't carry (under LTC authority) if you are not also carrying the LTC itself.

Based on my analysis, we can no longer be prevented from carrying in government meetings covered by the open meetings act and we get the "belt and shoulder" restriction removed from our holster choices.
