Riddle me this Batman (or anybody else). My brother is currently incarcerated. When I go to visit him, they always tell me that I can't bring my pistol into the parking lot and leave it in my pickup. Under CHL laws it plainly states that I can't carry it on the premises of a penal institution, but then says that premises does not include parking lots, just buildings. What's up with not allowing me not to leave it in my pickup and should they be allowed to do this?

Here in north texas, the prison checks your vehicle for weapons before you even get into a parking lot. There is also a huge sign on the drive some 200 feet before the check point. After searched and signed in, I drive a couple hundred yards to a parking lot, then walk about 200 hundred feet to a gate where you are personally searched and patted down. From my house to the prison, it is about a 25 minute drive on the opposite side of town from where i live.

I know what the chl laws say, but I feel that if I tried to stand up for my rights in this case, I could lose my permission to visit and be removed from the visitors list. Which my friend, who is in high security, of administrative segregation, would be the one who suffers from this. So I'll play by the rules.

Let me ask this here. my friend gets out in 36 months and will be released at Huntsville (as are all inmates). He is in for 2 counts of aggrated robbery for 15 years. I will be the one to go pick him up at that time. Could there be problems for him if I carried to pick him up? What are the laws about convicted felons in the presence of firearms? I will add that at that time, he would have served all of his 15 years.

Your help will be appreciated.

He is not allowed to possess firearms until 5 years after release from incarceration or public supervision, i.e. parole or probation, which ever is later. After that 5 year period, he will only be allowed possession in his home. He still can't purchase one. As long as you don't allow him to handle or be in control of a firearm (loaded or unloaded) you and he will be OK. If you do, then you could be in trouble as well. You can't allow him access.

Friends,

What are the SB and HB bills dealing with weapons in parking lots of businesses and carrying weapons on premises of higher education? I know what the substance are in these bills I just can't remember the numbers for my legislative search.

Never mind friends, I reviewed old posts and found them. I should have thought about that before. I am learning you folks on TGT are up to speed.

Thanks.
