There is no such thing as "brandishing" in Texas, particularly inside your own home.Shinesintx wrote:Earlier, I was reading Oklahoma law...and came across something interesting. In Oklahoma, you can open carry to your vehicle and to the range. This open carry includes ones property.
In a thread where the OP had an altercation with a door to door bad guy, the Ok law got me to thinking.
Open carry at the time the OP had his interaction with the door to door guy...may have prevented this altercation?
Is the law the same in Texas? Can I answer the door with a gun on my hip? Or, would that be brandishing? Maybe I was headed to my vehicle on my property...when the doorbell rang? I guess the answer will depend on what Texas law is?
I know that in some gun forums, there is usually someone who will post "open carry would have prevented this"...but in this case, would it have prevented anything?
