Texas Law Clarification
I am 18 so...
I can own a handgun. I can purchase a handgun but only from a private dealer. I cannot carry concealed. What does this mean? I simply cannot have the gun on my person at any time or in my vehicle WITH me? I intend on buying one at a gunshow fairly soon. How do I walk out with it? Carry it in plain sight? These retarded laws are confusing. Thanks in advance for clarification. |

I know you don't like confusing, so focus on the top part
unless you're into this type of thing in which case you can read the entire law. this info is texas state law and is quoted from www.handgunlaw.us (click on Texas). You are allowed to own a handgun, and you are allowed to have it on you in YOUR vehicle & at home.

There is no provision for open carry under TX law other than the "lawful hunting, fishing, or other sporting activity" caveat in which case (if the provisions are met) you can carry openly or concealed on the immediate premises where the activity takes place. I'm just mentioning this for completeness--it's not a feasible method for legally carrying in public. The only exception is that you CAN have a handgun in your vehicle as long as it is concealed (either concealed on your person or concealed in the vehicle) and you meet the other requirements in the law for legally having a handgun in your vehicle.

There's no legal requirement to carry it either concealed or openly at that point, but once it goes in the vehicle it must be concealed by law.
