In addition to the handgun law website already posted you can get the info from the TX DPS site directly.

http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/administra ... rocity.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

That is the official list regardless on what might be posted on handgun law or elsewhere.

...each state, however, can have regulations quite different from Texas', and when you're in that state...they apply to you...for instance, in LA, you must ask permission of a homeowner before carrying into his residence...in TX, not necessary...

Additionally, we are blessed with our very specific 30.06 "NO CHL allowed sign" in Texas whereas just about any 'ol "no guns allowed" signs suffice in most other states.

...well, ain't you wide awake on Monday !!!

... http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/texas.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ...the map (+ Texas, which I didn't count)=34
...BUT...if you click on the link and then on the reciprocity link to the side...and don't count Texas...you get 32...'cause it takes you to the Texas DPS list...which leaves out Wisconsin...as did my list from another "reliable source"...

...if you click on the "That is the official list regardless on what might be posted on handgun law or elsewhere." posted above, you still get the Texas DPS list...which is missing Wisconsin...and you're screwed again...

...Charles' pretty map is correct, too...but you gotta be sharp enough to add Texas...to get to 34...

...I gotta change to your brand of coffee, I guess...

Folgers classic medium roast. Does wonders for your situational awareness (if you drink plenty!) LOL

...the problem MAY be more serious than coffee...I switched from Folgers last year because it wasn't strong enough...
