Texans could carry handguns without a permit under bill headed to Gov. Greg Abbott's desk
Abbott has said he would sign the permitless carry proposal into law.www.texastribune.org
So, am I reading this correctly?
They can stop and ask?
"assuage concerns from the law enforcement community, including striking a provision that would have barred officers from questioning people based only on their possession of a handgun."
TPC 46.02 changes will allow plain view of a handgun by a non-LTC holder if the handgun is in a holster. Though it’s not explicitly spelled out, I think the intent is for the holster to be on the person. This is one of those gray language spots in the bill.…He already wants a holster setup for his car.

Yes, but car-carry is already allowed, so long as the firearm is concealed. It doesn't require the firearm to be on your body, so this seems like its not much an issue - its essentially covered by a different law then 1927
I have read HB 1927 in its passed version. And I'm not enough of a legal speak interpreter to understand something. 30.06 and 30.07 signs prohibit LTC holders from entry. What is in the new law that spells out what a business owner has to post in the way of signs to prohibit non-LTC holders from entry should a business owner desire them not to enter? Can anybody point me to the text?
30.05 signage is added to address non-LTC holders. Look at pages 13-15 of the bill below. Note the pdf include two unnumbered pages before the bill numbering pages begin.
So once signed by Abbot what is the day CC goes into affect?
Does anyone else here read the amended Section 30.05 as an increased restriction? The wording applies to all firearms, not just handguns. That means the law now provides a way to limit unlicensed carry of long guns where prohibited by the property owner. Unless there is some existing law that already covers unlicensed carry of long guns.
That's exactly what it does.
