Speaking of Full Auto Handguns, if I have the license, can I conceal carry one legally?

GC §411.171. DEFINITIONS. In this subchapter:
(1) "Action" means single action, revolver, or semi-automatic action.


GC §411.179. FORM OF LICENSE. (a) The department by rule
shall adopt the form of the license. A license must include:
(1) a number assigned to the license holder by the department;
(2) a statement of the period for which the license is effective;
(3) a statement of the category or categories of handguns the license
holder may carry as provided by Subsection (b);
(4) a color photograph of the license holder;
(5) the license holder's full name, date of birth, hair and eye color,
height, weight, and signature;
(6) the license holder's residence address or, as provided by Subsection
(d), the street address of the courthouse in which the license
holder or license holder's spouse serves as a federal judge or the license
holder serves as a state judge; and
(7) the number of a driver's license or an identification certificate
issued to the license holder by the department.
(b) A category of handguns contains handguns that are not prohibited
by law and are of certain actions. The categories of handguns are:
(1) SA: any handguns, whether semi-automatic or not; and
(2) NSA: handguns that are not semi-automatic.

Meaning, concealed, open, etc. doesn't matter...not that I'm advocating slinging my SMG around my neck and "taking a stroll" with it.

Consider this stolen. It is my new favorite quote.

I know what you are saying about "high capacity mags" being used by anti's
mostly. That's why I specified "> 20 rounds" in my subject title, so everyone
here would have a definite reference point.

AFAIK it's Kalifornia and Massachusetts which frown on "high capacity" mags, that
being defined as anything greater than 10. It's a shame that gun makers have to
kowtow to these states and make specific models which are < or = 10 rounds.

Which is kind of crazy when you think about it. If some BG wanted to rock and roll
with his gun in a bad way, all it takes is multiple 10 round mags loaded up and ready
to go. To switch out mags takes no time to speak of.

MD and NY also frown on "hi-caps"... or "large capacity ammunition feeding devices" as the 1994 AWB (since expired) describes them... among other non-sequiturs like "semi-automatic assault weapons".
