The Metro rail in Austin is owned by the city so they can't prohibit concealed carry by a license holder. Same with most city or county owned mass transit. Amtrak is federal, so that is the difference.MotherBear wrote:Is that also true of things like the metro rail in Austin? It appears to be legal on the Cap Metro buses, but I couldn't find anything about the trains. Sorry, I'm not up on mass transit... but the kids enjoy the occasional train ride downtown so it would be good to know for sure!Andrew wrote:Very much a no.Abraham wrote:CHL and armed on a train in Texas = Yes? / No?

Re: TSA at Amtrak Austin
No. Amtrack is a federally funded company ran as a for-profit corporation. So, the train is federal property and you can't carry on it. They will allow firearms in checked baggage but they have to be declared ahead of time http://www.amtrak.com/firearms-in-checked-baggage" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;carlson1 wrote:Hate to dig up a topic in resting, but after reading this thread I am still confused.
I have read their policy, but I could care less what their policy is.
Is it legal for a CHL to carry on an Amtrak train from Dallas to San Antonio?
