If I decided to ride my horse say from mansfield to the west side of fort worth could I open carry as I am traveling? I mean I would be doing my best to help stave off global warmingseamusTX wrote:Texas law has allowed travelers to carry handguns without regard to concealment for a long time.Greybeard wrote:Quote from above: "Texas allows open carry of handguns by people who are traveling," Whoa! ...
It seems that a Texas proponent of open-carry might need to update them on the now-at-least 2-year-old critera regarding the presumption of "traveling" and motor vehicles, particularly the "not in plain view".
Someone riding a horse from Abilene to Amarillo 100 years ago would have been traveling.
The 2005 modification of the law says that a person is presumed to be traveling if he is in a privately owned motor vehicle, the weapon is not in plain view, and several other conditions.
That doesn't contradict the older intent of the law. It's an addition.
