HB 357 (I like that bill number) would allow permitless carry of a legally owned handgun in Texas.

I don't think that will carry as much weight as all the police chiefs and blue county sheriff's who'll be against it.Too many people make money off the concealed carry classes for this to pass
Interesting side effect, would make unlawful carrying of clubs by ltc holders
Yeah, good catch. Is it presently 'legal' to carry a collapsible baton?Interesting side effect, would make unlawful carrying of clubs by ltc holders
Currently PC 46.02 doesn't apply to LTC holders carrying handgunsYeah, good catch. Is it presently 'legal' to carry a collapsible baton?
What section are you referring to? The text I see about clubs is existing Penal Code Section 46.02. The words crossed out or underlined are the proposed changes to the law in HB357.Interesting side effect, would make unlawful carrying of clubs by ltc holders

A Big Fu#kin NO way. The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed say the 2nd amendment.

Pure BS.Before you start to carry one keep in mind cops are not up on laws and if you have one there is a good chance you will take the ride and eventually get out of it might be free might cost 10K in attorney fees.
If you want to risk it then you also have to have your gun on you when you carry the batton.
Pure BS.
That's just asking for law suits. How can a cop do his job if he doesn't know what he can and can't do legally. But you are probably right, that's why I don't trust cops or the government that employs dumb people.
I bet you could not find more than a handful of cops that know every code subcode ect ect.
No way any non gun enthusiast would have a clue about it being ok to carry a baton with your gun and permit unless some judge has reamed them out for it in the past.
its not the cops job to find you guilty or innocent. For most know the law that says its not legal to have one so you get a ride and let the courts sort it out.
The LEO's I know Don't fear people with guns for two reasons: Cops are better trained and criminals will conceal carry with out regard to the law.I don't think that will carry as much weight as all the police chiefs and blue county sheriff's who'll be against it.
