Ah, but it does affect such rules.FlynJay wrote:Also, I found this in the Q&A section.Moreover, the final rule does not affect existing rules limiting the possession of loaded rifles or shotguns.
The final rule repeatedly says "concealed and loaded firearms". It says nothing about handguns, rifles, or shotguns.
Now, Texas is unusual, because most states ban loaded long guns in vehicles as part of their hunting laws. But in any state that doesn't, according to the final published rule as I read it, long guns are covered just the same as handguns, so long as they're concealed.
