Good info, everyone, thanks. I believe I will join the NRA today.

I carried because, well, my mom and 4 year old wanted to walk through the woods there. Stupid me figured if one can Duck hunt from those areas, a pistol should not be a big deal. Common sense would have gotten me in trouble.

Yeah I wondered about that too. Is hunting allowed because the guns are not concealed? If so, then open carry should be allowed, right? So confusing.

Thanks for the welcome and the info, although not what I was hoping to hear.

A real shame because recently we were walking those trails near dusk, enjoying the 'get away from it all' feeling when we came around a bend face to face with 3 'unsavory' fellas in the remotest part of the trails. To say they were out of place would be an understatement. I don't know what they were up to out there but I'm pretty sure they weren't bird watching. Not carrying, I looked them dead in the eye and summoned up a firm, "Howdy, guys." All we got in return was stone cold dagger eyes as we passed. But, they did not make a move towards us and we kept moving which was definitely the best case scenario. It really got me to thinking, though, how vulnerable we were out there and how easily and quickly things could have gone very differently.

That non-incident and 2 recent drug related shootings in our 'safe' neighborhood prompted me to get my CHL. Now, I just have to decide who do I fear most... the BG's or my own govt.

Hey Forum, long time lurker, first time poster.

The wife and I like to walk these trails in Little Elm on the shores of Lake Lewisville. Does anybody know for sure that these are OK for CHL carry?

I apologize in advance if I should be able to find this info on my own but my skills/patience at searching govt sites is whatever comes right above nil.

And thanks for all the other great info on this forum!
