Re: question re: HB1815
Sec. 46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun, illegal knife, or club if the person is not:
(1) on the person's own premises or premises under the person's control; or
(2) inside of or directly en route to a motor vehicle that is owned by the person or under the person's control.
I was taught this meant you could only have your gun in the car under MPA if the car was yours or you were driving it--not just a passenger in someone else's car. Under CHL, it is ok. The OP does not have a CHL. Is this wrong? The person who answered this for me originally was a Fort Worth PD officer who teaches CHL.
