    I have a CA CCW and ride with an M&P Shield IWB, but once I move to TX I am considering a cop-style shoulder holster for a 1911. What do you ride and carry?

    I ride an adventure bike on the road and open carry my Glock 19 with OWB holster. This is because I usually have my riding jacket on and I can’t wear it over the pistol and still access it. Puttering around the house running errands and such, I’m on my dual sport most of the time and carry a single stack Ruger 9mm with OWB holster but with my shirt over it. I don’t wear gear other than helmet when running local during the summer, so jacket interference doesn’t apply

    Are we allowed to OC AR pistols in TX? I've seen it done in LV. Someone tried to get an AR pistol added to their CCW card in CA which is technically not against the rules, but the sheriff in that jurisdiction threw a fit and wouldn't OK it

    When I had my bike I had a tank bag on it and would put my shield in the bag when riding. Remove and holster in my usual owb rig when stopped.

    Why do people want to use what Cali or other liberal states does as a basis for expectations of what Texas does or should do? I fear it is a subtle but dangerous bit of thought that exposes how normalized being anti-gun was and is out there.

    Get your LTC then carry within the bounds of the law and the police won't care or do anything because there is nothing to care or do anything about. For the cost of oddball holsters etc, you could simply pay the King for permission to exercise your right to bear arms with it as an SBR... which would have advantages of better stocks, grips if you're into that sort of thing, etc

    In the words of the great Texan Davy Crockett:
    "Make sure your'e right, then go ahead"

    I've carried my 16" AR slung across my chest a number of times on my GSA and got nary a look.

    I open carry with a belt holster.

    When vehicle carry becomes effective on Jan 1. I will have a holster mount on my bike itself, and will draw from it if needed. I carry either an upgraded Taurus G2C, Sig P365, or Beretta 92FS

    What is vehicle carry?

    Currently if you wish to carry your handgun in a vehicle, it has to be concealed either on your person, under the seat, glove box, or center console, etc… if it is OPEN carried, then it MUST be in a shoulder or belt holster AND on your Physical body.

    Effective Jan 1, you will be allowed to open carry in your car, as long as the handgun is in ANY type of holster. The holster does NOT have to be physically on your body. It can be attached to your vehicle, or simply laying in the passenger seat, or on your dash or center console, etc… So long as you are in the Vehicle, or on it.

    Magnet mounts are NOT legal in your car, unless they are concealed, OR include a holster, and the handgun is IN the holster.

    Where is it written it must be concealed under a seat in a glove-box or center console? DON'T ADD TO THE LAW!!!

    The law simply says a handgun must be concealed. That could be as easy as sitting your skid-marked chonies over the handgun.

    "Concealed" how and where is up to you

    I was just giving examples of concealed,I also said ETC…. Meaning you can conceal it however you wish. The list I gave was not all inclusive, or meant to be exclusive. Doesn't matter how it’s concealed.

    I've read the Texas penal code 46 a few times (as much as humanly possible) but never saw any mention of the law that for OC, the handgun must be in a holder ON the person. I read the part where it mentions shoulder or belt holster. But no other mention of location of the weapon. Hence all the funny memes with a handgun in a belt holster, hanging from someone's neck or shoulder on a piece of twine. :)
    Please DO correct me if I am wrong. I don't want to be wrong. But I just could not find anything more in the penal code.
    It is just sad that our lawmakers do not even proof read what they propose and pass.
