Have I missed something, somewhere, at sometime, The last time I remember you could carry a loaded handgun , concealed without a chl. I believe or thought that the State's law over ruled a counties law. Plus I have been wrong before. Main thing I think about is the HB bill stating that a resident of texas can carry a loaded handgun concealed with out having a chl. I think the bill was out in 2006 or 2007. It was a Castel Law. If some one could shed some light on this I would like it.
I think your co-worker is mistaken. Texas law "trumps" county laws. There is a law HB 1815 called the Motorist Protection Act [MPA] passed in 2007 which allows concealed carry in a motor vehicle without a CHL. IANAL
