Once upon a time, this summer, I was in new Chinese restaurant in Plano. Couple Plano PD officers walked in to eat a lunch. Once I was done with my meal, I approached them and started inquiring about CHL and the new castle law modification as per carrying in car with no CHL. The officer equated a car with place of living like your home and meant that you can only carry in RV while traveling with no CHL, but not your commute car . This is not accurate, as per penal code you can keep aa concealed handgun in your vehicle of transportation with no CHL.
If I am wrong, please some lawyer correct me.
We just hope that ALL PD officers in TX gets a refreshing course about the CHL penal laws in the penal code.
Not a lawyer, but both of you were "Plano" wrong.
The Castle Doctrine/Law has nothing to do with vehicle carry (sans CHL), I think you are referring to the "Motorist Protection Act" HB 1815. This is a common mistake (just wanted to clear that up).
The officer was simply incorrect, both your vehicle (under your control) and an RV qualify as forms of transportation that you may carry in.
