I guess that depends on the situation, doesn't it?seamusTX wrote:PC §46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE
HOLDER. (a) A 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.You can actually carry concealed in places listed in the exceptions such as premises under your control or your own premise, traveling and certain other activities. If I meet one of the exceptions in 46.15 ( b), then I am not operating under the CHL laws and am not required to conceal my handgun.No exceptions.
You can carry openly in premises that you control (your home or place of business), while traveling, and certain other activities.
It's also a bad idea tactically. You would not have control of your weapon or the premises. Your buddy could do something stupid. Someone else could enter the premises without your knowledge. A home invasion might occur (pick your friends carefully).

A handgun left off of your person but not about your person is not UCW. So you can remove the handgun and secure it at the home of another.
UCW requires the handgun be "on or about your person" for you to be unlawfully carrying.
When I hooked up my father's VCR to his PVR this past weekend, I removed my handgun and placed it in a closet. I was not UCW.
