Re: open carry bill filed

My CHL instructor told our entire class that you can be arrested for printing. A friend of mine was picked up by two policemen and taken outside of a waffle house for printing even though there was no 30.06 sign. The law is pretty clear that it only applies to intentional failure to conceal but police and CHL instructors alike still spread this myth of unintentional failure to conceal.

Unintended "mishaps" are not illegal so legislation to OC will not have any impact on this.

Its either Conceal all the way or not at all. There are still penalties for intentionally failing to conceal if you are not open carrying.

(a)AAA license holder commits an offense if the license
holder carries a handgun on or about the license holder ’s person
under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code,
and intentionally fails to conceal the handgun, unless the license
holder is carrying the handgun in a shoulder or belt holster with at
least dual points of resistance.
