It is illegal. You can't call the police just because you think they fit a profile. Should I call the police when I see a high school aged kid on a DART bus? After all, recent shootings have been done by high school aged folks. Maybe those two teenage boys are getting ready to go on a rampage. Same thing for members of ethnic groups that have a higher chance of committing crimes.Grundy1133 wrote:I feel like that should be against the law... They either need to post 30.07 signs on their buses/mention it on their website or not make a fuss about it at all instead of being like "if someone feels uncomfortable we'll call the cops on you for exercising your 2nd amendment right as a law abiding US citizen." Wouldn't logic dictate that if you get on a bus and dont go psycho on everyone, that theres a GOOD chance you're a law abiding citizen... Plus speaking of logic, if a bad guy planned on doing something bad i dont think he'd be open carrying to begin with. he'd wanna keep it concealed so nobody knew he had it...its policies like these that make no since to me. they defy logic. all for a "false sense of security" for people who are scared of guns.mloamiller wrote:CARRYING ON A DART VEHICLE
Customers can still carry a handgun when riding DART. However, if someone is carrying openly, bus or rail operators may stop the vehicle and call for DART Police. The law allows a police officer to request the license holder's driver's license or government-issued identification along with the holder's handgun license.
Customers carrying concealed handguns should experience no changes unless the handgun becomes visible. If that happens the police may be called to investigate.
If DART is not publicly owned, then they should post 30.07 signs or just give verbal notice to anyone OC'ing.
