A person commits an offense of unlawfully carrying a weapon if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries a handgun on or about his or her person unless the person is on one’s own premise or premises under the person’s control or inside of or directly en route to a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under the person’s control.
It is unlawful to intentionally, knowingly or recklessly carry on or about one’s person a handgun in a motor vehicle if the handgun is in plain view or the person is engaged in criminal activity (other than a misdemeanor traffic violation), prohibited by law from possessing a firearm or is a member of a street gang.
This might clear up some confusion about carrying a concealed handgun in Texas.
I have spoken to plenty of officers who aren't even clear on these laws.....that's what happens when they don't pay attention in legal update classes!
just out of curiosity, how many legal update classes have you sat through?
