Is it illegal to drive through a school zone with a loaded gun in my truck in Texas?
Of course I am.Are you sure about that?
What is a "school zone"?I was just curious as far as a school "zone" was concerned.
Texas Penal Code

(c) In this section:
(1) "Premises" has the meaning assigned by Section 46.035.
Sec. 46.035.
(3) "Premises" means a building or a portion of a building. The term does not include any public or private driveway, street, sidewalk or walkway, parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area.
It wouldn't matter. Conceal carry is still OK as far as Texas law, on sidewalks, drive's, parking lots etc., just not on "premises", a described in 46.035 that tx posted.and by my above post, i didnt specify in or out of the vehicle, thanks tx investigator
With a CHL you can carry a handgun out of your vehicle at a school.and by my above post, i didnt specify in or out of the vehicle, thanks tx investigator
You can carry on "property" . Only place restricted is a building or a part of a building.right, "on premises" and i had said property is what i was referring to...
just trying to clarify is all.
