    As I was driving to the range with mine the other day, I got thinking, does it need to be concealed since it’s a pistol, and if so is it only if it’s loaded??

    Yup. An' the law makes no distinction w/regards to being loaded, per my understanding. Besides - why take the chance, just toss a towel/rag over it.....concealed.

    Me, the usual .45 on my hip, an' a KSG on the back floorboard, angled to be readily reached.

    I rarely go into the parts of Dallas, Irving, Arlington or Ft Worth where protests are occurring. There was a march nearby Monday evening which I would have avoided assuming I go anywhere. My biggest threat recently was a driver who thought I honked my horn at them. They tried to force me off the road then caught up with me and threatened me even when I stated I didn't honk at them. Crazy people nowadays even without the riots.

    The four qualifiers in the Motorist Protection Act:

    - The handgun must NOT be in plain view; it must be concealed.
    - You are NOT engaged in criminal activity (excluding Class C traffic misdemeanors). If you are, then you have bigger problems to worry about!
    - Federal law does NOT prohibit you from possessing a firearm. (See end of article for more details)
    - You are NOT a member of a criminal gang.

    If you have an LTC, then a handgun can be openly carried if complying with the relevant provisions.

    That’s what I was thinking, I was already enroute to the range when I thought about it, I did cover it on the way home.

    I live in a fairly small town so we haven't seen anything different here. Still I pulled the socom out of the safe and make sure I have my pistol on every time I leave the house.

    That place east of Waco....
    No riots in the rural areas, and the cities I usually visit (Waco, Tyler, B/CS) have been peaceful. I had already gone from a CW9 to a M&P 2.0 Compact for other reasons, so I'm good on pistols. I may start carrying my Imperial Riot Rifle (SMLE Jungle Carbine) hidden in the vehicle for future trips. The Brits liked the overpenetration of the .303 round for mob "deescalation" purposes....
