Penal Code 9.22 sounds good to me. Thank you for the suggestion.

I like the shoot through the window option but the particular bar I frequent has no windows.

Would opening the front door and shooting the the perpetrator while standing outside of the door frame and bar be legal?

Staying at home is probably the safest option but it's kinda of like letting the terrorist win.

Here is the situation:

CHL and Spouse are in a 51% bar.
CHL is not drinking.
CHL and Spouse are seated by front door entrance.
CHL's vehicle is right outside the front door entrance.
CHL's gun is in vehicle.
Spouse uses restroom which is in the back of the bar. (As most bathrooms are)
Perpetrator comes into the bar and begins shooting.
Perpetrator is between spouse and CHL.
Distance between CHL & CHL's vehicle is shorter than the distance between CHL and Spouse in restroom.

Option #1 CHL gets gun out of vehicle, returns into 51%bar and stops perpetrator. CHL has now committed a 3rd Degree Felony by entering a 51% bar with a firearm.
Option #2 CHL tries to reach bathroom and take spouse to safety. CHL, spouse, employees and customers remain in danger unless they are able to retreat.
Option #3 CHL uses his pepper spray and gives perpetrator a skin rash.
Option# 4 CHL retreats to vehicle and waits for perpetrator to exit premises then stops perpetrator. Spouse, employees and customers don't exit 51% bar because they all got shot.

Can anyone else see the Catch-22 here?

My suggestion:
Tell Texas Senators, Representatives, Congressmen-women and everyone else you know that we want CHL's to be able to carry in 51% bars if they are not drinking or not intoxicated.

Any suggestions are welcome.
