Who's gonna open carry?

[YALE]

Nice! I like the look of that Onyx holster, BTW.

I will probably pickup a outside the wasteband holster for my daily carry, but still use a long shirt to cover it. Should be more comfy than inside, will not get used as often I bet but will be nice to have the option, especially while biking/running.

A true GLOCK person. Actually makes the gun look better.

I already have 4 holsters waiting quotes from stealthgear. All custom made. The 629 will be a pretty sight. These guys will make whatever you need. A little pricey but they look very quality.\

Looks like you had the wrong URL, it should be http://stealthgearusa.com/.

In general, I'll still be carrying concealed out in public. I'm still a little paranoid about becoming a target for the bad guys if they know I'm carrying. But I'll probably carry more OWB around the house (yes I know it's already legal) and at cookouts and to a very lesser extent, quick outside trips to the gas station, car wash, etc. Friday night out, concealed.

I'm considering getting a Tucker Gun Leather HF1 with a Texas Concho for OWB carry. I need to find out if this will work with both of my 1911's (one has a rail).

How does this affect CHL while traveling in vehicle?

Can I ride with it in the open but not on person?

Huh? Once open carry is legal, it shouldn't matter if you are walking or driving right?

It's currently legal to have it concealed in the car on your person. IIRC you can also have it anywhere in the vehicle as long as it's concealed, like inside the center console or in a gym bag.

What I am curious is how it affects openly displaying a handgun while traveling in a vehicle if it is not on your person.

Looking at the current language, assuming it stays the same, it says:

Sec.A46.02.AAUNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS strikes out: the handgun is in plain view

OK I wasn't sure if you were talking about now or after the law changes to allow open carry. Actually I'm still not clear if you are talking about now or later. But I would assume this would change once open carry is allowed.

Right, nothing has changed yet regarding that. But I would assume it would change later. Would there be any reason why this wouldn't be changed? I mean, we would be allowed to open carry while walking around but have to hide our guns once we get into our vehicle? Just a personal observation anyway.

What I'm getting at is when you take the weapon off of your waist it's no longer being "carried."

Let's say I get pulled over and I have the pistol visibly tucked between the seat and the console.

The word is "possession," and you're still in possession of that firearm.

Thanks for clearing that up
