It's illegal for the person who's licensed/permitted to sell alcohol to allow it to happen, so if it were concealed and they could plead honest ignorance, nothing happens. §46.02 and §46.035 refer only to handguns, as you point out.locke_n_load wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 4:20 pm https://www.newswest9.com/article/news/ ... fI6slDZ-Ns
Basically, guys were carrying rifles, in the overflow parking lot of a bar, to protest the continual closing of the bar. Got arrested for unlawful carry of a weapon.
But, 46.02, which has a generic "premises is property" definition, seems to apply to handguns only.
46.035 has the "premises is a building or portion of building" definitions, but that section is for license holders.
TABC code has the definition that "premises is property", but mainly quotes chapter 46 in regards to weapon carry, and the red 51% applies to handguns only.
So what part of TABC code or Texas Penal Code directly relates rifle carry being unlawful on 51% property?
Charged under the wrong statute.
