I agreed with you 100%. I just added a secondary thought afterwards. ;)Paladin wrote:Well that text was from the Harris county DA... who has a rather restrictive interpretation of things.

Trunk of car
So it would then be permissable (without a CHL) to go to work and make various stops after work before going to the range, and the requiremnet to go directly to and from the range only applies if you are carrying the handgun on your person (or inside the passenger compartment of the car.
I wonder how that applies to private aviation.

Yes. UCW is only applicable if the gun is on or about your person.bauerdj wrote:So it would then be permissable (without a CHL) to go to work and make various stops after work before going to the range, and the requiremnet to go directly to and from the range only applies if you are carrying the handgun on your person (or inside the passenger compartment of the car.

Aviation? Don't know. FAA regs might address that. But if the handgun is on or about your person, it is UCW unless one of the sections of 46.15 apply.

Aircraft carry
Well, nobody is likely to "pull you over" up there and I guess a good case could be made for presumption of travel. FAR's do not cover this except to say that a weapon can not be brought aboard without the approval of the pilot in command.
