LTC and "criminal street gang"

[Soccerdad1995]

True and there's the rub. Simply by associating as a member everyone is a participant but it must first be proven in court that they have actually done something that is illegal.

I think (barely but I try)aiding and abetting a criminal is a crime in TX? https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/PE/htm/PE.7.htm
If so would not membership and association (actual physical proximity, interaction co activities) with those gang members who are criminals meet the intent of that law for other members?

This would be an extremely dangerous precedent since by extension you could be held liable for any crimes committed by people that you associate with.

Would Antifa qualify as a criminal street gang?

They should.

antifa protesters came looking for violence, and “engaged in several activities indicating proficiency in pre-operational planning, to include organizing carpools to travel from different locations, raising bail money in preparation for arrests, counter-surveilling law enforcement using three-man scout teams, using handheld radios for communication, and coordinating the event via social media,” the DHS report said.

The intelligence assessments focus less on guns than handmade weapons used by antifa, with photos of members brandishing ax handles and shields, often with industrial-sized bolts attached to create crude bayonets. A senior state law enforcement official said, “A whole bunch of them” have been deemed dangerous enough to be placed on U.S. terrorism watch lists.

And I'm assuming you are being facetious by referring to the RKBA as a "privilege". If not, then we are so far apart on the underlying issue here that we probably will never see eye to eye.

I don't but clearly the legislature thinks it's a privilege rather than a right, based on the restrictions they enshrined in chapter 46 of the Texas penal code. Even a "shall issue" LTC presupposes a privilege rather than a right, because people don't need to take a class and pay for a license to vote, to pray, to have a lawyer present during questioning, or even to have an abortion.
