Title: Answer to TX CCW
Post by: Reinz on August 04, 2011, 12:21:56 AM

With all the concern about "flagging" while carrying in Fla and having their law changed; some questions came  up about Texas that were unanswered.

Well according to the Texas State Rifle Association who is is 99% responsible for TX getting their CCW/CHL in the first place;  "Texas law does not penalize a CHL for accidental display of their carry gun when a jacket blows open or a shirt rides up.
Display of a handgun by a CHL must be intentional before the law is broken.
Also open carry on a person's own property or business is not prohibited by law.

So there you have it fellow Texans, rest assured that an accidental flagging will not get you procescuted.  You still might get arrested by some jerk though.  As we all saw in the recent video.

Good information.  I don't remember that part in the class I took for my CHL in Houston.  I take great pains to make sure I don't print when I carry which is all thye time now.  I always worry about accidentally printing tho.  I know it can happen. Thanks.  :)
