Return to “Texas CHL on a boat?”
Actually they are enforceable seperately. Just like drug laws. There is a Federal Law against possession of marijuana. Some states have a "medical" provision for possession, but the feds can and often still do prosecute.Darwood wrote:Federal minimum wage trumps state minimum wage. That's one law I could think of that trumps another.txinvestigator wrote:No, laws don't "trump" other laws.
Ahh, good point. It well could be.Rex B wrote:Since a bigger sailboat or cruiser or houseboat with living quarters can be called a "vacation" home according to the IRS, would such a vessel not become an extension of your home, for purposes of carrying - CHL or not?
Would it matter whether it were inland or coastal waterways?
Does maritime law trump Texas law?
Traveling has been ruled in court in the past by a wide definition. Usually things like "overnight travel" or traveling from one county thru another and into a third, etc, have been the prevailing rule. In fact, I am aware of no case law from the appellate courts, so each court is free to interpret traveling on their own on a case by case basis.llwatson wrote:If a boat is propelled by a motor (not a row boat) and is privately used (not public transportation), then is it not a Private Motor Vehicle??txinvestigator wrote:Probably not, as traveling usually involves going somewhere, rather than up and down a river, or round and around on a lake.
And the presumption would not apply as it requires the person be in a Private Motor vehicle.
And where in the traveling law does it say that I have to be actually going somewhere, and not just out for a nice Sunday drive?
Come on TXI, I expected more of you! Ya gotta quote chapter and verse for me.

If it's your boat, I don't think you would need one. If you head for the Sabine, brush up on your Louisiana laws, since half of it is theirs.
(I doubt the river is posted.)
