That statement is just plain wrong. It's illegal to have a handgun "on or about" your person in Texas. Then there are the exceptions, such as having a CHL or traveling. And of course putting it in the trunk removes any question about it being "on or about" the person.Molon_labe wrote:Because even though they did it for "good" reasons..its still illegal...PERIOD, in my class it was stated in black and white it is illegal to give your firearm to a non-chl person to take home or whatever (I believe it was on the test too)
Think about it: if you sold that gun to the person taking it home, they would have exactly the same legal status. How do you think a non-CHL can buy a handgun and take it home? Or handle one at a store or gun show?
Unless he has a CHL, that EMT's legal status is exactly the same as a friend or family member's.I kinda thought it would be that way...the EMT responding would take possession and give to LEO if a weapon was found
