Actually, he technically wouldn't even be covered on 10+ acres. Bearing in mind that the law is at the discretion of the responding officer, I did look up the requirement for having a range on one's property a while back. I don't recall the precise statute, but I'm sure with a bit more time than I have currently, I could find it again. I don't recall the limit for handguns, but for "long guns", the land requirement is "50 contiguous acres". I would also wager a non law school educated guess that if he were to be authorized a weapon for the purpose of home defense only, he would be restricted to the limits of his property in general.Soccerdad1995 wrote:I'm curious about the definition of premises, and whether it includes land as well as buildings. If the person lived on 10+ acres out in the boonies, then they could at least get in some practice, assuming that they are OK anywhere on their own land, and not just in a building.Javier730 wrote:In Texas a felon can own a firearm for home defense only after 5 years from his disposition date. No range time, or any other firearm using. It is still against federal law though kinda like the marijuana dispensaries were (or are).
Mind you, that's all state stuff, we all know what the federal statues say.
