Re: HB 56 filed with text

I'm interested to hear someone with legal experience interpret this... If we keep 30.06 signs and add 30.07 signs, I'm in.

Re: Open Carry Event - Houston - July 4th

It should be noted for those not familiar with these that it is an open carry for LONG GUNS ONLY as open carrying a handgun in Texas will get you arrested.

True. And when carrying a long gun, the method of carrying "should not cause alarm", meaning it needs to be on a sling, probably on your back ...

Open Carry Event - Houston - July 4th

Because of the successful open carry march in Temple, other towns are starting up open carry marches. I'm in Houston, so I found out that there is an open carry event scheduled for July 4th from 9-11 a.m. Downtown. They just started this group so I'm sure there are more details to follow, and ...

Re: Do not go into Killeen. You will be sorry.

Where does the MPA or 1815 state that the concealed handgun has to be "not easily accessible" from anyone else?
Just thinking of the situation where I'm driving and my handgun is in the glovebox, and my brother is in the passenger seat (closer than I am).
Not that I carry like that, just wondering ...

Re: SB299 to Governor

I believe that we are going to get an opinion from the Attorney General on what "display" means. But Charles would be the aficionado on that. I want to know if display means have it in your holster, in your hand, etc...

Re: Would you shoot?

The video said they were armed, dressed in black and wearing bandana over their faces, so "empty-handed" was with respect to not getting any cash, I don't think it meant that they were unarmed or not a threat.

Re: What exactly is failure to conceal?

Okay, not a newbie here and have been carrying daily for maybe a year and a half. It's summer now (usually ;-) ) and my summer dress is shorts and a large T-shirt with my M&P 9c OWB at about 4:00.

But I do love this part:
