I would really like to see more exceptions to 46.035(a) than just being justified in the use of deadly force.
I may be reading wrong or missing something, but to me it reads that it is illegal to unconceal my handgun anywhere at all since I am a license holder.

I know there is 46.02 which makes no mention of concealed except for in a motor vehicle. But, to me, it looks like a person can open carry on their own property legally until they become a license holder at which point they are now violating 46.035(a) and are now meeting both criteria to be in violation of that law, carrying under authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411 and intentionally failing to conceal, no matter where they are.

So with the way I'm reading it, I could be arrested for intentionally unconcealing my handgun in my own house. I know realistically that is unlikely to happen, but I'd feel a lot better about going to a friends property to shoot or just generally anything with a handgun if they write at least a few exceptions to 46.035(a) into the law, if not completely remove it.

Anyway, I'm well aware that I may be misreading it or missing something, but until someone shows me where it says 46.035 does not apply in my own house, I'll feel like I'm technically breaking the letter of the law every time I take my gun off when I get home.
