Thanks and Have a Nice Day!
Even if it passed I would still carry concealed:
I think as a general rule this will be true for the vast majority of CHL’s, including me at times. However, I also believe that most CHL’s will practice OC to some extent, even though they may not visualize that now. Let’s take a few examples. To my knowledge, all of the below are currently illegal w/o OC.
• Removing your jacket/vest which was providing your concealment before you get into your car during our hot Texas summers (assuming not on your property).
• Keeping the handgun exposed on your hip while driving your vehicle.
• Exiting the vehicle prior to putting on your jacket to conceal your handgun (assuming not on your property).
• Showing your buddy the new 1911 you just purchased at his backyard BBQ.
• Removing your handgun from bodily concealment to store in a lock box in your vehicle prior to entering your child’s school.
• Laying your trusty 45 LC in the truck seat next to you to dispense of hogs, coyotes, mexican buzzards, snakes, etc. as you go check on your neighbour’s heifer that is suppose to calve while he is out of town for the weekend (OK, may this one is just me).
• And I’m sure others can think of many, many more.
