CCW illegal in church in Texas?
I thought it used to be illegal to carry a gun in church in Texas, but I thought they changed that. Did they change it back again?

It's only illegal if the church posts a sign. It was illegal first, then they added a line to make it not.

Yea, they have to post a sign, and not just a sign saying "no guns allowed".
It has to say something like "Pursuant to Section... under article blah blah blah" it list the exact legislative line and such. If you need more info, I still have my book from the CCW class and I can look up the exact language.

Looking at the current version available online:
PC 46.035 UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF HANDGUN BY LICENSE HOLDER (b) A license holder commits an offense if the license holder intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries a handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, regardless of whether the handgun is concealed, on or about the license holder's person: (6) on the premises of a church, synagogue, or other established place of religious worship. And to my knowledge, it's always been that way. Last edited by kd5tms; March 7, 2009 at 12:36 PM. |

Duly corrected.
I feel a little let down from my concealed course instructor, we didn't go into the laws as well as I felt we should have. But, that's no excuse for me not reading them completely myself. Will do that next time. |
