Does it fire?[/quote]
Yes. With a fuse.

So would a 3/4" cannon that is at least 26" long be "a firearm that may have, as an integral part, a folding knife blade or other characteristics of weapons made illegal by this chapter?" It would seem to be a requirement before the other exemption would be applicable.

And yes, my employer does consider it a weapon, so this law is my only chance.

I should follow up that my employer has stated they aren't really concerned with the cannon but they will not make any exceptions to the handbook. The parking lot portion prohibits weapons in the car unless the right is protected by state law.

I recently got a replica 17th century cannon and would like to have it in my trunk while parked at work, until I can take it off site for an event. As a CHL holder would SB 321 protect me from my employers no weapons policy? Can you back this up? As a number of my co workers will be at the event I won't be able to keep it completely quiet.

My concern is that parts of the Texas Statute make exemptions for antique and replica weapons being a firearm, but it appears to only be the case if it would otherwise be an illegal firearm.

Thank you,
