Re: MPA Fact Check

As described, it would appear that the juvenile's conduct does not meet any of the exceptions under 922(x).

18 USC 922(x)
Yeah, but we don't really care about federal regulations here in Texas, do we?

MPA Fact Check

A young man I know who attends our church (I think he's 17), showed me a photo of his new Glock that his dad bought for him recently. I asked if he planned to carry it in his truck and he looked at me inquisitively, so I talked to him about the Texas Motorist Protection Act. I told him that the handgun must be concealed at all times and about the other simple requirements that must be met (which I have not doubt that he would always be compliant with).
I got to thinking afterwards that, I need to double-check that the MPA is applicable to minors, hence my post.
So, just to make sure that I did not give the lad unsound advice, do the knowledgeable members of this forum concur that minors can keep a concealed handgun in their vehicles in Texas?
Thanks.
