...that would NEVER make it to a conviction...he's doing legit business with the gun in a gunshop....only an idiot would make an arrest on that...only a bigger idiot would file the charges...and no jury would find him guilty...that's like saying your person must remain concealed in a public restroom or you're guilty of exposing your person...there's no need or reason to bring it in unloaded...that was not the intent of 46.035.Bulldog1911 wrote:Then you just broke the law:CHLNewbie wrote:I don't believe that orally qualifies under any of the 30.06 definitions that I encountered in my class.

[ ETA: OK, I see the oral subsection of 30.06 and how it works. Thanks.]
He saw it because I was shopping for an accessory and he asked whether I had the gun with me, and to see it to look for a fit. But that's also an area I'm also unclear on - the transition from concealed to unconcealed and back.
ยง 46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE
HOLDER. (a) A license holder commits an offense if the license
holder carries a handgun on or about the license holder's person
under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code,
and intentionally fails to conceal the handgun.
If you are shopping for an accessory for one gun, bring that one in unloaded, and use a different one for CC while in the store.

Yeah, I don't see anyone trying to prosecute that. When I go to my indoor shooting range, I always carry my EDC concealed, and the others in a case. When I decide to practice with my concealed weapon, I unconceal. Don't think anyone is going to raise an eyebrow.

They never have for me, including the day I walked in with just a box of ammo and a couple of self-printed targets.johnson0317 wrote:Yeah, I don't see anyone trying to prosecute that.
