Will this qualify as OC?
How will this affect the MPA in Texas if any?

Re: Will this qualify as OC?
I don't think it will. The new law does state that, for open carry, it must be in a belt or shoulder holster. It may be semantics, but it doesn't say it has to be on the belt or shoulder, but rather just in one or the other. However, inside of your vehicle could be considered being under the MPA and I'm not aware that anything in there was changed. If that is true then loose as yours is in that picture would be in violation. And if I am mistaken, then I await correction.

Under MPA he is good too. Not visible from outside the car. If the law for CC did not change on the person or within reach and the same rule applies to OC, then As long as the handgun is in a belt holster, he is good to go too.C-dub wrote:I don't think it will.

Re: Will this qualify as OC?
For some reason, the picture flips upside down when I open it.
Is the gun visible from outside the vehicle if someone were to stand by the door and look through the window? If not, I don't think is should be an issue. If a person would have to be in the vehicle or bent down looking through the open door, I don't think it is a problem.

The thumbnail looks right but when I click on it it looks upside down. I get what he is showing though.

Re: Will this qualify as OC?
This is also what I get. The first time I looked at it I thought it was on top of the dash. I had to take another look before I realized everything was upside down and then also noticed the holster.mojo84 wrote:The thumbnail looks right but when I click on it it looks upside down.

And here I thought he'd managed to come up with a right-hand-drive F150... until y'all pointed out it was upside down and I saw the pedals.

Re: Will this qualify as OC?
Back on topic, I've heard a number of people state that HB910 only addresses on body OC and anything off body (such as pictured in the OP) would still have to be concealed even if the weapon is in a holster.
Comments? Mr. Cotton?
