That's a very broad question so I'll say, "It depends."

I don't know any Texas laws you would break carrying a mock gun in general.
If you commit or try to commit robbery with a non-firearm gun-like item (blue gun, AirSoft, water pistol, etc., you will be charged with armed robbery.

If you point one at a LEO, you stand a good chance of being shot at, and maybe being hit. ;-)

If you display one in a manner calculated to alarm, you will be charged with disorderly conduct.

If someone sees a bump under your shirt and calls 911, you probably will be gone before the cops arrive. If they do find you, you have not committed an offense. They might put you on the "nut list."

I picked up a guy who had been carrying IWB at 12 O'clock. When he decided to show it to a friend, well... let's just say there was gristle everywhere and no more children would be forth coming.

If you are going to carry your toy gun, make sure you have an extra roll of caps, in case you need to reload :smilelol5:

I'm teasing, I think it is a good idea.

I haven't seen paper caps in decades. They now come in rings that resemble a moon clip.
