Re: Carry at work without CHL?
If he really has control, it doesn't seem to matter if the owner gives (or denies) him permission to carry on the property.

Re: Carry at work without CHL?
It looks like the answer is no.speedsix wrote:Sec. 46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun, illegal knife, or club if the person is not:(1) on the person's own premises or premises under the person's control
...it's not about feelings...the question in law is: Does the person carrying the weapon have control of the premises???

My main question, if they tell you it is allowed, is it then legal while you're at work? Or do you HAVE to have CHL to carry in public places? I work at a resort. Thanks. (note: please don't respond with "just get your CHL" because at the present I am only 20, believe me, I would if I could).

Re: Carry at work without CHL?
Can you show me where the Texas Penal Code says that's an exception to 46.02?denwego wrote:I'd argue that anyone who owns or controls a property in a legally controlling way can "allow" someone to carry a handgun/illegal knife/club on their real property.
You can argue feelings all day long, but I think the LEO arresting him and DA prosecuting him will care more about the law than your feelings about property rights.
