And sticking your tongue out at a deputy is not illegal either...But it is ill advised, because that could lead to a body cavity search.

This actually sounds like the voice of experience! But then, I never have done such a thing.

The many replies have helped me on this matter. In my one example, Mr. Sig will go to church with me since there is NOT a 30.06 sign to the contrary. Thanks much folks.

If a concealed and unloaded gun is governed by the Texas CHL rules exactly the same as a loaded gun, then that's important to know. Under that doctrine, a gun is a gun weather it is loaded or not loaded.

If Texas law considers an unloaded and concealed handgun as outside the CHL rules, then I might consider removing the ammunition from the gun in "some" places. For example, I'd rather not leave the gun locked in the car while in church, but keep it with me. That's just one example.

I'm just continuing to sort out all the "ifs", "ands", and "buts." And again, thanks in advance for any guidance.

I need a second opinion on a question. In the eyes of the Texas law governing a CHL, does it make any difference if the gun is loaded or unload? Is a gun a gun, regardless if it loaded or not loaded? Thanks in advance.
