Boji I can strap on my sword and walk down main street with it and I'm perfectly legal. In 2017 we have removed all of the “illegal knives” in Texas law, allowing Texans the right to carry a Bowie knife, dagger and virtually any other type of knife.
I knew that Texas made massive changes to knife laws then just wasn’t sure if if covered concealed carry. On a gun forum that I am a regular seems when knife questions come up I’m the one that answers
Boji,
David, i'm sure certain sections of the " Media ", will have a field day.dlr110 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 17, 2021 4:41 pm Texas Gun Laws for 2021, from U.S. LawShield at https://www.uslawshield.com/potential-t ... ppressors/
I attended a class last night on the new Texas gun laws and to be honest most folks are confused right now
including me and the instructor we had. So the link I provided above will give you a short brief on the new
laws that will be effective September 1, 2021.
As I see it there will not be a lot of change in the laws for those of us with a LTC. Here are some of the changes
I see from the class and the link:
HB 1927 – Firearm Carry Act of 2021 allows the “permitless carrying” of a handgun for any individual who is 21
or older and meets all the federal and state requirements on who can or can not own a firearm.
Under the current law, Texans must pass a safety course and background check to get a license to carry. The new
permitless carry law will strip that requirement. The bill also directs the Texas Department of Public Safety to
create a free, online gun safety course, but training is no longer required to carry a handgun.
The law does not change background check requirements while purchasing a gun. Firearm purchases through
licensed gun dealers still require a background check unless the buyer has a license to carry. Gun purchases
through private sellers do not require a background check. A background check currently is required to obtain
a license to carry a handgun, meaning that after Sept. 1, a background check no longer will be required to obtain
and carry a handgun.
House Bill (HB) 2112 and Senate Bill (SB) 550, removes the specific language in state code that handguns must
be worn in a “shoulder or belt” holster, allowing individuals to utilize any type of holster. This means that visible
handguns carried in drop-leg holsters, ankle holsters, pilot rigs, dash-mounted holsters, and any other appropriate
holsters will be legal.
HB 1407 – Vehicle Carry. The law will specifically allow a person to carry a holstered handgun on either their
person or anywhere else inside the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle.
There will be new signs that businesses can choose to display such as the new 30.05 which will prohibit non-licensed
individuals but will not apply to LTC holders. If a 30.06 or 30.07 sign is displayed that will affect everyone. The Texas
“Blue Signs” have been repealed. These signs simply stated that the unlicensed possession of a weapon on the premises
is a felony.
I'm sure there will be many discussions, articles, arguments and more classes on the new laws before and after September 1st.
LE expressed a number of concerns with the original version of the bill as written when it was submitted to the legislature by the State Representatives and Senators who wrote the legislation. By the time the “sausage” was made and the bill passed the concerns expressed by LE were satisfied. When all was said and done, for the most part LE organizations and individuals were supportive of the bill. Of course there are always a few…………
I make no secret about my ownership of firearms and I do encourage those interested to learn and buy. I usually carry concealed but I am not against open carry by responsible folks. If I am asked, I always own up to the fact that I am carrying. At church, I carry a compact 1911 in a holster with my shirt covering it but there is a fairly obvious bulge on my hip.Boji wrote: ↑Tue Jul 20, 2021 5:09 pm Slight change of topic.....
How open and sharing are you regarding your ownership of firearms, hunting, and shooting sports?
This has has been a recent topic of a gun forum I'm active on.
I know many, myself included, have shared pictures and experiences here. Do you have NRA stickers on your pickup trucks? Do you wear tshirts that say Smith & Wesson or Ruger? Or 2nd Amendment rights? Do those things make you a target for "bad things"? Opinions will vary.
Myself, Locally and here I have always been open and sharing regarding my gun ownership and shooting activities. Considering I've been a firearms dealer for 30 years there is no sense in hiding it. I try to promote ownership and the shooting sports to women by being an example of that. My business FB page promotes firearms(as much as they allow!), conceal carry classes and 2nd Amendment rights. My personal page has no mention. I know any miscant online can find my business address, phone # and my first name and probably more. That is what I have to accept in today's information age.
However, away from my home turf, I become that grey person.
I feel this might carry over on the internet. I've spent much of my life in a state that is very hostile toward firearms and firearms enthusiasts, as well as a few areas where being open about firearms ownership and enthusiasm makes one a target for thieves. Therefore, I'm extremely covert about it. I'll sport my AAPK T-shirt on occasion, but nothing more than that.
