Return to “open carry bill filed”

retention is important, more so with open carry
My stomach muscles are finely tuned to work with my double layered kydex reinforced gun belt to retain my Concealed IWB weapon, less so if I just took a Gas-X ... but I know techniques ... from Tai Kwon Do, Judo, and General Tsao and chow mein methods... try to get my gun, watch out for my flying double eggroll....
If it guts 30.06 I will fight against it. This is one of those compromises we don't need.texanjoker wrote:I think this actually might have a chance to pass this time around. My reason is that Texas will want to pass PRO GUN stuff while the feds try to pass anti gun stuff.
Pass all the laws you want but more laws will not educate the uneducated.zajones08 wrote:My CHL instructor told our entire class that you can be arrested for printing. A friend of mine was picked up by two policemen and taken outside of a waffle house for printing even though there was no 30.06 sign. The law is pretty clear that it only applies to intentional failure to conceal but police and CHL instructors alike still spread this myth of unintentional failure to conceal.
Correct. That is the law now. Intentional will get you in trouble. Unintatntional will not. In my world a "mishap" is not an "I am showing my gun so I can threaten you".zajones08 wrote:Its either Conceal all the way or not at all.

Anygunanywhere
(a)AAA license holder commits an offense if the license
holder carries a handgun on or about the license holder ’s person
under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code,
and intentionally fails to conceal the handgun, unless the license
holder is carrying the handgun in a shoulder or belt holster with at
least dual points of resistance.
What? You are not skeered someone is going to grab your gun and shoot you wif it?AEA wrote:Yep.......
"with at least dual points of resistance"
THAT has GOT TO GO!
Does this guy have stock in holster companies that makes holsters "with at least dual points of resistance"?
A CHL holder is not going to 'loose his gun" unless......it's in the toilet!
