We're only a few years becoming a liberal state. We're getting a lot of California Socialist coming for cheaper housing but they love a State Income Tax.
Good video. The only discrepancy I saw was the inadvertent display while concealed. As of 2013, the law changed from "failure to conceal" to "intentional display." Therefore, an intentional display was not a punishable offense.
I'm from California, so if you can carry a weapon inside a car, are you in violation if you have to go inside a public establishment to use the restroom, or stop off to eat inside a restaurant
I think lee's referring to your ability no use deadly force as self defense which only works if you or someone you know are threatened by someone with a weapon.
Maximiliano Sanchez lead the way? So the idea that constitutional carry is not ok? The 4th amendment is infringed by allowing any Leo to stop you and disarm you without cause? Lol, I can enter a bar in my state comcealed, as long as I don't drinl. Your signs are stupid. Your state is one step above california.dumb ass hicks.
Open Carry I would never do, Common sense tells me it would draw too much attention .....so just cover it up , I wouldn't want anyone too know I'm carrying these days.
I plan to send this letter to my elected officials and local law enforcement agencies. Constructive criticism is welcomed. Feel free to copy to send to your officials. Part 1 I have been conducting a personal study of the laws of Texas and the United States. It appears to me the Texas Legislature has been in error on the matter of bearing arms. The Texas Bill of Rights states in the following two passages: • Sec. 1. FREEDOM AND SOVEREIGNTY OF STATE. Texas is a free and independent State, subject only to the Constitution of the United States... • Sec. 23. RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS. Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime. The 2nd Amendment to our Constitution for the United States reads: • A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the Right of the People to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. Sec. 23 above where it states “…the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime” appears simple enough to interpret. However, when legislation is passed where rights are involved it can complicate matters. In 1878, when our post Civil War constitution came into effect, it was common for people to go about armed for protection of self & property. It was a necessity in many regions of our great Republic. As our society passed through the corridors of history this necessity has diminished to a great extent. The progresses made in technology, law enforcement & policing has played a large role in this. Unfortunately the pendulum has swung back in the direction of need. The legislature has recognized this and has made positive steps to allow people to get a permit to carry a sidearm, this being the preferred and most likely of choices when bearing arms for the lawful defense of self. Has the legislature done enough to preserve and secure our right to bear arms? My study has revealed that the Texas Legislature interprets and has applied Sec. 23 over the years as the power to restrict the law abiding People of Texas from exercising their right to bear arms. In our country there have been times when most people did not have a concern about going out into public unarmed. They even left their doors unlocked at night, or when not at home. On the other hand, there have always been places where it would be advisable to be armed. I believe many Texans have been hurt and killed because they were not allowed to legally bear a sidearm on their person due to the restrictions placed on them by the Texas Legislature. If these people would have been able to exercise their right, with impunity, to bear arms the crimes against them could and most probably would have been prevented. It seems the Texas Legislature has converted Sec. 23 into an oxymoron with its enactment of laws. Sec. 23 says you have the right and the Legislature says only if we let you. That sounds very much like a communist, or United Nations, practice in the application of law. I do not believe that was the intent of the framers of the Texas Constitution. I believe the intent was to secure the right and regulate the manner it can be exercised i.e. concealed, or open, where - (there are obviously places we shouldn’t be armed), be sober and of sound mind and body, no machine guns, amongst others, ALL without requiring a permit, or license, whether it is rifle, shotgun or pistol. I do not believe this right is difficult to legislate in a manner that secures the right and not limit it. I believe that was the intent of the framers of the Texas Bill of Rights. Obviously there are many federal laws regulating what types of arms that we can own. It clearly states in the 2nd Amendment that the right to bear these arms shall not be infringed. It is obvious the Texas Legislature has infringed upon the right to bear arms of the People of Texas and that the legislature has been derelict in their duty of securing this right by passing laws restricting the bearing of certain types of lawful arms and limiting the bearing of a sidearm to only those with a permit. Some may consider the permitting to bear a sidearm is good common sense legislation. I say it is gross violation of common right. It is like saying you are incompetent until proven otherwise. This is the opposite of what our whole system of government is about. Once someone shows incompetence, or irresponsible behavior toward others, then there is due process. If it be proven in a court of law and found guilty then rights are restricted. This is how our system is designed to work. It is the republican form of government we have. Many States have recognized that they have been infringing on People’s rights and now have what is commonly referred to as “Constitutional Carry”. Rightfully so in my opinion. I believe it is Vermont that has had it from the beginning. It is progressively getting more dangerous to be out in public and many people feel like they should be armed when doing so. It is our right and the government’s duty to secure that right. It is always better to have one and not need it, than to need it and not have one. However, people in Texas are still getting hurt and killed because they fear being arrested if caught doing so without a permit. Our Founding Fathers were very clear on the issue: “…the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” Their intent and reasoning is clear and there are vast amounts of historical documentation that states their intent. It is my belief that any & all carry permits amount to licensing of a right and is Unconstitutional. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that the licensing of rights is unconstitutional. Furthermore, they have ruled that citizens can ignore the licensing regulation and engage in the right with impunity. There is an obvious risk of being arrested if doing so when it applies to side arms in Texas. Mainly due to miss informed zealous, yet otherwise sincere police officers who can, have & will arrest people for the sole reason of exercising their right to bear arms in Texas. Even after those officers have taken an oath to protect & defend the Constitution for the United States of America as well as the Texas Constitution. I guess they don’t realize that means defending the rights of the People regardless of what their department tells them. That is what honoring your oath is all about. It is an oath to the People. It is not, nor is it supposed to be easy. Furthermore, they do not have an obligation to enforce unconstitutional laws enacted by the state legislature. I would not be surprised if officers and people have been killed and/or wounded during an arrest of someone for the sole reason of exercising their right to bear arms. These same officers are not even obligated to attempt to make such an arrest, by law. In my research I found U.S. Supreme Court decisions supporting my statements in the above paragraph. They are on the issue of states having required licensing to exercise a right. Here are two of them. “No state shall convert a liberty into a license, and charge a fee therefore.” (Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 U.S. 105) “If the State converts a right (liberty) into a privilege, the citizen can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right (liberty) with impunity.” (Shuttlesworth v. City of Birmingham, Alabama, 373 U.S. 262) Neither of these cases pertains to firearms, just rights being licensed. It seems to me the principle, of not licensing a right, would apply to bearing arms also. Please take the time to sincerely contemplate this matter and to please ponder the following questions. Is the right to bear arms in our 2nd Amendment a common law right? • Yes and there is case law to prove it. Can individuals, courts and government be sued by People for violation of a right? • Yes and there is case law to prove it. Can individuals holding office be criminally prosecuted for violating their oath of office when voting “aye” and passing legislation that is an infringement of the People’s rights? • I believe they can but do not know of any cases. Some say they have immunity because it is implied they are honorable and acting in good faith. This is becoming more & more questionable and the immunity is limited. • What about law enforcement officer’s arresting people exercising constitutional rights? o Yes, and have in the past because once they violate someone’s rights they are acting outside the law. However, many have done so with impunity. • What about judges for rendering decisions that are contrary with the People’s rights? o Yes, and have in the past. They do not have immunity when operating outside their jurisdiction. What checks and balances exist in our government that prevents overzealous, yet otherwise sincere, government officials from over stepping their appointed duties to secure the rights of the People they are sworn to serve? • Many and can be located by a diligent search. When government officials are wrong and exercises tyranny, is violence recourse? • Yes; there are SCOTUS decisions that state people can use force against police if their rights are being infringed upon. Our Revolutionary & Civil wars testify to this fact. In all cases it ends up being a very traumatic event for all involved.
You don't need a license for open carry , me and 4 friends opened carry with one cop asking just where we were going and gave us his number in case something happened
I didnt know about the class c misdemeanor, thats amazing, especially for those who might want to carry at their jobs when not allowed to so they can actually defend their lives and their employees lives. If we are the good guys then what right to businesses have to disarm us: are the governments’ laws not actually a higher power than mcdonalds laws?
You forgot open carry for a long gun or a sporting rifle and that no license required if it has a sling when you wear it! Hell I open carry my M&P15 sport 2 at Walgreens all the time. No Problem! Texas Rules Its a good idea to donate to the State troopers yearly that's why Texas is the best state! Don't forget the Border Patrol!
I’m a Texan and idk why people call this a gun friendly state. We’ve established that here in Texas we don’t have constitutional carry. So if it’s not constitutional, then what kind of carry is it? Unconstitutional Carry; Anti-Constitutional Carry, that’s what. If you doubt that just ask yourself, in what language does “shall not be infringed” mean the same thing as “shall require one to pay a fee and ask permission first, and may easily be taken away from any individual for their entire life”? And what does that make the cops who enforce these laws? Well, they swore an oath to the US Constitution, which is the Supreme Law of the Land, which cannot be superseded or overruled by any other type of law. So that makes them oathbreakers if they enforce these laws. That’s why I don’t like police. I’m no leftie by any means, but they’re mindless order-followers (just like your average rank-and-file Nazi stormtrooper was an order-follower) and they’re oathbreakers. Defund. We Texans can look out for ourselves. We don’t need oathbreakers running around trampling people’s rights, victimizing the innocent along with the guilty, and enforcing the arbitrary unconstitutional decrees of political psychopaths, tyvm. I disavow Antifa and BLM by the way, before anyone tries to put me in one of those boxes.
I will never ever carry my firearm where everyone can see it. Why? Because I will then be making a target of myself and who in his or her right mind wants that? Try thinking like a criminal whenever such madness crosses your mind. Who would you shoot at first in a crowd?
I keep looking up info for carrying guns in texas I keep getting info for handguns my question is can I carry a 22 long rifle without a permit or license?
OMG Did the win for 2nd in Hawaii and California just change everything? Please let me know cause I really wanna open carry. California... is where i'm at.
in texas in the service at ft hood loved it walk in a gun store in kilean show a tx dvr lic walk out with a 1911 go to buddys house and shoot all day in the backyard in 1982 or go to a indoor range on post & shoot a hs 22lr for free
Texas laws need to be more clear. Why are carry license holders susceptible to being charged with having a firearm in plain view, while in their vehicles; in an OPEN CARRY state? There's nothing magical about a holster, if public, or officer safety is the supposed concern. Also, license holders should be near the bottom of the list of people cops need to worried about. I was recently warned that I could face a Class A misdemeanor, for having my handgun mounted in my car, via a gun magnet. In my opinion, there is NO WAY you could see my gun while I am sitting in the vehicle; while standing outside of the vehicle. Only by forcing me to exit the vehicle and searching, could you spot my black gun, against my black dash panel. Why is it okay to have a gun in a shoulder holster, or driving holster; but not mounted under your dashboard, if you have a license to open carry? It makes NO SENSE! The purpose of carrying a gun in your vehicle, is to be able to protect yourself. How is making it harder to access the weapon, achieving this purpose?
Open carry doesn’t give any advantage. If someone was to shoot up a place, they would take out the man with the gun out first. Conceal carry is much more effective and harder to detect.
I'm sorry about this question but I need some clarification, if anyone could help me that'd be great. Can you conceal carry with a LTC? Or only open carry? Thank you
Justin McWebber So a 375 dangling from your shoulder is less obvious? My question was really about the legallity of owning and carrying a shotgun, even if your a felon.They seem to state that a shotgun isn't a firearm, or atleast you don't need a permit for. I would do Open carry walks but not if I was illegal.
This was very helpful! We shared it on our Twitter feed. Check out the #PJNET Hashtag rally on Sunday night from 8-10pm ET where the focus is 2nd Amendment support
He's talking fashtion not fact....it's as stupid as saying " it's ok to wear black shoes ...but you must wear white socks...I don't think the constitution says you gotta do this and that to exercise your " rights" the politicians don't seem to de able to read coz the rights are not to be infringed...period.
Tommy Williams correct. Over 18, not a felon, not committing any crime other than a Class C misdemeanor, not a gang member and be the driver in a privately owned vehicle.
Most important, make sure you are legal. Get your license to carry online at www.bcsgunclass.thinkific.com, the cheapest ($40), easiest (watch video), most convenient class available online (stop and start when you need to).
Best video explaining open carry so far. Thanks for the vid.
so this is like the only informative video on RUclips.
good job dude
Can anyone name an incident where an open carried pistol was used in a crime in the last five years?

Fuzzy Wuzzy every single one of those are fake, and made by random fake news sites.
Fuzzy Wuzzy the Washington post link was a good person helping and no crime was committed.
you can open carry in your place of business and on your private property without chl.
jaime santos I can open carry anywhere I want I my state without a silly piece of paper.
hoods think twice before robing a store in tx id love to see stats on hold ups in tx
I'm sorry Texas. I thought you guys had a lot more freedom.
Same!
We're only a few years becoming a liberal state. We're getting a lot of California Socialist coming for cheaper housing but they love a State Income Tax.
I know! Thats why i had to leave. The same could be said about united states in general. What a sad but true statement
Send them back to communist california where they belong
I know this is late, but even if they say there is no constitutional carry it doesn't matter, the constitution is the highest law.
This is why I ask my friends to "get educated". People just don't know what the truth is. Thank you for your video ( thank you from CA)
This is my range, 2nd Amendment Way. Good job guys, we need more of these.
You're the man Josh. Good to see a patriot supporting constitutional carry, even though said law will hurt your business a little. Salude
Good video. The only discrepancy I saw was the inadvertent display while concealed. As of 2013, the law changed from "failure to conceal" to "intentional display." Therefore, an intentional display was not a punishable offense.
+Ricky Mcgrath In fact the "failure to conceal" was even originally meant to be for intentional and not accidental.
I'm from California, so if you can carry a weapon inside a car, are you in violation if you have to go inside a public establishment to use the restroom, or stop off to eat inside a restaurant
Will this mean all the bad-guys will have to get permits now or just us good guys?
Love it!! Great explanations of exactly what is and isn't. Wish more Texas's understood what's being put into law and not
Lee Johnson constitutional right to kill people? Uh, not sure what piece of paper you've read, but that doesn't exist
I think lee's referring to your ability no use deadly force as self defense which only works if you or someone you know are threatened by someone with a weapon.
You video editing is awesome.
LEAD THE WAY TX! Awesome handgun law!
Maximiliano Sanchez lead the way? So the idea that constitutional carry is not ok? The 4th amendment is infringed by allowing any Leo to stop you and disarm you without cause? Lol, I can enter a bar in my state comcealed, as long as I don't drinl. Your signs are stupid. Your state is one step above california.dumb ass hicks.

Part 1
I have been conducting a personal study of the laws of Texas and the United States. It appears to me the Texas Legislature has been in error on the matter of bearing arms.
The Texas Bill of Rights states in the following two passages:
• Sec. 1. FREEDOM AND SOVEREIGNTY OF STATE. Texas is a free and independent State, subject only to the Constitution of the United States...
• Sec. 23. RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS. Every citizen shall have the right to keep and bear arms in the lawful defense of himself or the State; but the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime.
The 2nd Amendment to our Constitution for the United States reads:
• A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the Right of the People to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Sec. 23 above where it states “…the Legislature shall have power, by law, to regulate the wearing of arms, with a view to prevent crime” appears simple enough to interpret. However, when legislation is passed where rights are involved it can complicate matters.
In 1878, when our post Civil War constitution came into effect, it was common for people to go about armed for protection of self & property. It was a necessity in many regions of our great Republic. As our society passed through the corridors of history this necessity has diminished to a great extent. The progresses made in technology, law enforcement & policing has played a large role in this. Unfortunately the pendulum has swung back in the direction of need. The legislature has recognized this and has made positive steps to allow people to get a permit to carry a sidearm, this being the preferred and most likely of choices when bearing arms for the lawful defense of self. Has the legislature done enough to preserve and secure our right to bear arms?
My study has revealed that the Texas Legislature interprets and has applied Sec. 23 over the years as the power to restrict the law abiding People of Texas from exercising their right to bear arms. In our country there have been times when most people did not have a concern about going out into public unarmed. They even left their doors unlocked at night, or when not at home. On the other hand, there have always been places where it would be advisable to be armed. I believe many Texans have been hurt and killed because they were not allowed to legally bear a sidearm on their person due to the restrictions placed on them by the Texas Legislature.

That sounds very much like a communist, or United Nations, practice in the application of law. I do not believe that was the intent of the framers of the Texas Constitution. I believe the intent was to secure the right and regulate the manner it can be exercised i.e. concealed, or open, where - (there are obviously places we shouldn’t be armed), be sober and of sound mind and body, no machine guns, amongst others, ALL without requiring a permit, or license, whether it is rifle, shotgun or pistol.

Many States have recognized that they have been infringing on People’s rights and now have what is commonly referred to as “Constitutional Carry”. Rightfully so in my opinion. I believe it is Vermont that has had it from the beginning. It is progressively getting more dangerous to be out in public and many people feel like they should be armed when doing so. It is our right and the government’s duty to secure that right. It is always better to have one and not need it, than to need it and not have one.

I would not be surprised if officers and people have been killed and/or wounded during an arrest of someone for the sole reason of exercising their right to bear arms. These same officers are not even obligated to attempt to make such an arrest, by law.
In my research I found U.S. Supreme Court decisions supporting my statements in the above paragraph. They are on the issue of states having required licensing to exercise a right. Here are two of them.
“No state shall convert a liberty into a license, and charge a fee therefore.” (Murdock v. Pennsylvania, 319 U.S. 105)
“If the State converts a right (liberty) into a privilege, the citizen can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right (liberty) with impunity.” (Shuttlesworth v. City of Birmingham, Alabama, 373 U.S. 262)
Neither of these cases pertains to firearms, just rights being licensed. It seems to me the principle, of not licensing a right, would apply to bearing arms also.
Please take the time to sincerely contemplate this matter and to please ponder the following questions.
Is the right to bear arms in our 2nd Amendment a common law right?
• Yes and there is case law to prove it.
Can individuals, courts and government be sued by People for violation of a right?
• Yes and there is case law to prove it.
Can individuals holding office be criminally prosecuted for violating their oath of office when voting “aye” and passing legislation that is an infringement of the People’s rights?
• I believe they can but do not know of any cases. Some say they have immunity because it is implied they are honorable and acting in good faith. This is becoming more & more questionable and the immunity is limited.
• What about law enforcement officer’s arresting people exercising constitutional rights?
o Yes, and have in the past because once they violate someone’s rights they are acting outside the law. However, many have done so with impunity.
• What about judges for rendering decisions that are contrary with the People’s rights?
o Yes, and have in the past. They do not have immunity when operating outside their jurisdiction.
What checks and balances exist in our government that prevents overzealous, yet otherwise sincere, government officials from over stepping their appointed duties to secure the rights of the People they are sworn to serve?
• Many and can be located by a diligent search.
When government officials are wrong and exercises tyranny, is violence recourse?
• Yes; there are SCOTUS decisions that state people can use force against police if their rights are being infringed upon. Our Revolutionary & Civil wars testify to this fact. In all cases it ends up being a very traumatic event for all involved.
If you have LTC, can you open carry in a vehicle that is strapped down?
very informative and great video.
can i carry outside the belt without a permit? in Texas?
No
Can we get a 2018-2019 update? Are these rules still up to date?
Yes they are....and still stupid as hell....you shouldn't need a concealed permit to open carry
You don't need a license for open carry , me and 4 friends opened carry with one cop asking just where we were going and gave us his number in case something happened
What a blessing to be born in the great state of TEXAS always use common sense when doing this
Great video, thanks!
You can open carry on your property without a license.
as long as your a good guy in tx the way it schould be about handguns
I didnt know about the class c misdemeanor, thats amazing, especially for those who might want to carry at their jobs when not allowed to so they can actually defend their lives and their employees lives. If we are the good guys then what right to businesses have to disarm us: are the governments’ laws not actually a higher power than mcdonalds laws?
It's private property and then we are trespassing, so we'd have to go eat at Wendy's or wherever that wouldn't mind us carrying.
Wow didn’t know about carry in vehicle with no license I thought that was totally illegal but seems there are exceptions great lessons.
In the old days you had to have it in sight and unloaded. Now it can be loaded but must be concealed.
Wait, it's ONLY a class C misdemeanor if caught going past a sign?
You forgot open carry for a long gun or a sporting rifle and that no license required if it has a sling when you wear it! Hell I open carry my M&P15 sport 2 at Walgreens all the time. No Problem! Texas Rules Its a good idea to donate to the State troopers yearly that's why Texas is the best state! Don't forget the Border Patrol!
nice information
This video is awesome man!
I’m a Texan and idk why people call this a gun friendly state.
We’ve established that here in Texas we don’t have constitutional carry. So if it’s not constitutional, then what kind of carry is it? Unconstitutional Carry; Anti-Constitutional Carry, that’s what. If you doubt that just ask yourself, in what language does “shall not be infringed” mean the same thing as “shall require one to pay a fee and ask permission first, and may easily be taken away from any individual for their entire life”?
And what does that make the cops who enforce these laws? Well, they swore an oath to the US Constitution, which is the Supreme Law of the Land, which cannot be superseded or overruled by any other type of law. So that makes them oathbreakers if they enforce these laws.
That’s why I don’t like police. I’m no leftie by any means, but they’re mindless order-followers (just like your average rank-and-file Nazi stormtrooper was an order-follower) and they’re oathbreakers.
Defund. We Texans can look out for ourselves. We don’t need oathbreakers running around trampling people’s rights, victimizing the innocent along with the guilty, and enforcing the arbitrary unconstitutional decrees of political psychopaths, tyvm.
I disavow Antifa and BLM by the way, before anyone tries to put me in one of those boxes.
great video..bro
I will never ever carry my firearm where everyone can see it. Why? Because I will then be making a target of myself and who in his or her right mind wants that? Try thinking like a criminal whenever such madness crosses your mind. Who would you shoot at first in a crowd?
Dam I can't find a good inside the waistband holster for shyt
+Charlie Kelley ok preciate tha help man!
I keep looking up info for carrying guns in texas I keep getting info for handguns my question is can I carry a 22 long rifle without a permit or license?
In the state of Texas, no license / permit is required to openly carry a long gun in public.
@@ODST3826 I been asking the same question so i have to have my handgun on my hip or shoulder in plaing sight?
@@abdielgonzalez4305 you need a license to carry handguns openly or concealed...
OMG Did the win for 2nd in Hawaii and California just change everything? Please let me know cause I really wanna open carry. California... is where i'm at.
Concealed carry and open carry is legal in your vehicle without a license?
You can have it in your car without a LTC but it must be concealed.
@@thebes56 but can it be on you? I usually have it under my seat and never had a problem with police.
You guys need a new camera, still a great video!
does the holster have to strap the gun in
No just has to be holstered
Very helpful video. Thanks. You didn't mention pocket holsters. Is pocket carry legal in Texas?
great
It will be September 1st.......
in texas in the service at ft hood loved it walk in a gun store in kilean show a tx dvr lic walk out with a 1911 go to buddys house and shoot all day in the backyard in 1982 or go to a indoor range on post & shoot a hs 22lr for free
So best thing to do at Walmart or H.E.B is do the open carry?
Instead of conceal carry & you show it by accident
Juan CHINGON , HEB has a sign on the door conceal carry only . As do most banks .
I am thinking about moving to Texas. Do I need a CCW permit to buy a handgun?
No.
Awesome thank you.
@@kyle47922 look up 4473 for buying a Gun in Texas.
What about cap and ball revolvers, federally not considered a handgun. Not even considered a long arm. In my understanding not a legal firearm period
is a ankle holster good for "open carry" ? or shoulder and belt holsters only?
Texas laws need to be more clear. Why are carry license holders susceptible to being charged with having a firearm in plain view, while in their vehicles; in an OPEN CARRY state? There's nothing magical about a holster, if public, or officer safety is the supposed concern. Also, license holders should be near the bottom of the list of people cops need to worried about. I was recently warned that I could face a Class A misdemeanor, for having my handgun mounted in my car, via a gun magnet. In my opinion, there is NO WAY you could see my gun while I am sitting in the vehicle; while standing outside of the vehicle. Only by forcing me to exit the vehicle and searching, could you spot my black gun, against my black dash panel. Why is it okay to have a gun in a shoulder holster, or driving holster; but not mounted under your dashboard, if you have a license to open carry? It makes NO SENSE! The purpose of carrying a gun in your vehicle, is to be able to protect yourself. How is making it harder to access the weapon, achieving this purpose?
Is long gun open carry still in effect? I know you have to holster handguns, but that doesn't apply to long guns right?
You can carry your long gun in public but you'll be freaking a lot of people out
Open carry doesn’t give any advantage. If someone was to shoot up a place, they would take out the man with the gun out first. Conceal carry is much more effective and harder to detect.
I heard it was not necessary in texas.
It's license to carry. Not learn to carry.
I'm sorry about this question but I need some clarification, if anyone could help me that'd be great. Can you conceal carry with a LTC? Or only open carry? Thank you
Josue Hernandez open or concealed
What about open carry shot gun?
Time Lord
If you wish.....i like to be a bit less obvious myself though
Justin McWebber So a 375 dangling from your shoulder is less obvious? My question was really about the legallity of owning and carrying a shotgun, even if your a felon.They seem to state that a shotgun isn't a firearm, or atleast you don't need a permit for. I would do Open carry walks but not if I was illegal.
I meant less obvious as in I prefer concealed carry.
I've seen people open Cary a shotgun. Not sure of the legality of it though
If you are a veteran the license itself is only $25.
you can open carry a fully loaded handgun right?
+Hajime Saito of course
Did our forefathers need a license. Are you guys british
what about a ar 15 pistol
This was very helpful! We shared it on our Twitter feed. Check out the #PJNET Hashtag rally on Sunday night from 8-10pm ET where the focus is 2nd Amendment support
He's talking fashtion not fact....it's as stupid as saying " it's ok to wear black shoes ...but you must wear white socks...I don't think the constitution says you gotta do this and that to exercise your " rights" the politicians don't seem to de able to read coz the rights are not to be infringed...period.
Free men don’t ask permission to exercise their rights
Did I hear him right I can Conceal in my vehicle without a license
Tommy Williams correct. Over 18, not a felon, not committing any crime other than a Class C misdemeanor, not a gang member and be the driver in a privately owned vehicle.
LoneStarHandgun but it has to be unloaded right
4 YEARS LATER STILL NO CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY IN TEXAS! Lol

need to).

Why do we need to open carry again???
I open carry because I cannot legally conceal carry.
Go figure.
E B practice our rights and make sure the gov knows not to take it away
Speedo open carry #cringe
