I live in Huntsville, Texas and I am thinking about buying a hand-gun and learning how to use it. I am first wondering if I can carry it in my car. I would probably buy one of those finger-print Bio Gun Safes to keep gun inside while in car. But I am wondering mostly...
What do I have to do to have a gun legally?
What do I have to do to go to shooting ranges and does anyone recommend one in my area?
Do I have to get a concealed handgun license or permit? And if so, where do I go to get this? Do you have to meet a certian specification for this? I shoot three types of guns every 6 months, work for a prison...
Any help would be appreciated...
Also, does anyone recommend a good Hand-gun for a woman that isn't too large or too small, doesn't kick terribly bad and is low maintenance? What about a Baretta? Don't know much but guessing a 9 millimeter is the size I'm looking for.
So I want to get my fiance a CHL (Concealed Handgun License) for his birthday, I have his social he is 22, and he has a .45 but I know he will need to buy rounds, he has never shot this gun and is anxious to, and he also really wants his CHL but he does not have the money yet but I do, what are the pro's and cons of the CHL in Dallas Texas
he shot a handgun befor it was like a .40 or something, but he wanted something more powerful,
I recently got my CHL and my instructor had mentioned that we are allowed to go into a Church with our gun, but reading the gun laws, it mentions that its an offense if I do. from what I understood, we can't go into places with the "30.06" sign but what if the Church doesn't have that? Any comments, links if possible.
Can a CHL (Concealed Handgun License) carrier defend himself if he, his family, or fellow believers are attacked inside their church?
I live in Texas and I'm always packing my Glock .40 cal pistol even in church. There have been some high profile church shootings in the news lately and if someone in those churches had neutralized the deranged gunman with a gun, would they have faced legal consequences. Would I face legal repercussions if I neutralized or shot a threatening criminal inside my church?
I live in Texas, and have a Concealed Handgun License. I will be flying out to California to help my parents move back to Georgia. I would like to bring my pistol so that once we cross into Arizona, I can carry it in accordance with my CHL. I know I can't "carry" it in California, but I don't mind keeping it locked up for the < 10 hours I'll be there.
I know how to properly fly with my handgun, I do it all the time, but never into California. I know they have some CA DOJ Approved list that your gun must meet to bring it into the state. Mine's a Smith & Wesson M&P compact, .40 and a Kel-Tec P11 9mm (BUG), if that helps.
I know there's a federal law that says you're supposed to be able to travel anywhere with your gun as long as its legal in the origin and destination, but I'm not sure how that applies when I'm traveling West in order to go East.
The intended focus of this question is the legality of bringing my aforementioned pistols into California for less than one day, assuming I comply with their "separate locks" requirements, etc.
Oh, and my apologies that this isn't exactly a hunting question. It was here, or "Law & Ethics," which would almost certainly result in responses of "Go away evil gun owner," etc.
Thanks to all, -Tex
I need help on a few laws. At what age can a person legally own a shotgun/rifle/handgun? At what age can one get a CHL (concealed handgun license)? How can one get a CHL? And if the handgun owning is legally 21, why can a member of the Texas State Guard (i was apart of it before i joined the USMC) legally carry and qualify when the person(s) are at the age of 17-19? ((qualified with a 40 cal Glok EXPERT first time. no practice. 229 :-))
Just wondered since brass knuckles are a concealed weapon just like a handgun, are the legal to carry if you have a valid Texas CHL (concealed handgun license)? I don't see the difference as they are both concealed weapons and both intended to do bodily harm in a self defense situation?
what are the limits of a concealed handgun license like if i have a license can i go to jail for carrying a hand gun under my jacket where can i carry it
what are the rules for texas
i have a friend that was convicted of agg. ass. w/a/d weapon in texas when he was 15, he got defered judificaiton probation, now he wants to get a concealed handgun license will this show up?
well he was protecting his mother when he got in trouble so in my eyes he should not have ever been in any trouble
This was in Az if that makes a difference.
I was charged w/ misdemeanor assault but charges were later dismissed.
can i carry a gun in my car with out a concealed handgun license
Alright im really confused and please only answer if you know what your talking about thanks. Im 17 years old and im active duty army. Texas law states that you can have a license to own and conceal a handgun at the age of 18 if your in the armed forces because if your old enough to fight your old enough to own a gun makes since right. but im 17 and in the army does this apply to me? either way you cant buy a handgun unitl your 21 so how does that work can my mom get me one as a gift i know all about the straw law thing but how does it work exactly i also know i can inherit one but since im 17 can this work since im old enough to fight for my country? And please dont say ask the gun store or range people cuz those civillians always give me the same shit, they say if it was up to them we'd all be allowed a gun regardless of age than they really just joke around and never answer and its awkward any help please and thanks.
umm no1 is seeing the question i know for a fact i can only get a concealed licens cuz of the army you need your orders as proof so this is fact and not only mps get a side arm medics et one and i get one cuz im a team leader in dstb a securtiy unit ne way its not for work its only for off time fun
I am currently living in Texas but will be moving to the D.C. area (either Virginia or Maryland). If I get a handgun license in Texas, will that license work in Virginia/Maryland? Or since I am so close to moving to the D.C. area (4-5 months?), should I wait until I get there?
Also, how much does it cost to get a handgun license/concealed handgun license? I understand there is a class I would have to attend, how much does the class cost?
I'm not talking about IN D.C. I'm talking about Virginia or Maryland.
I'm national guard, and I've heard that Military you don't have to be 21 to get a CHL. Is that true for National Guard as well? This applies to Texas laws.
I'm in Texas and was convicted of Assault by contact about 2 or 3 years ago, which ended in a 3 months unsupervised probation after plea bargaining if I remembered correctly. I'm planning on applying for a concealed handgun license later this year, so I want to find out exactly if it was a Class C or Class B misdemeanor.
Are there any website or place where I can view my personal record and find out exactly if I was convicted of a Class C or B misdemeanor?
Thank you.
I was convicted of Assault by contact(I believe it's a Class C misdemeanor in Texas), it ended in a probation after plea bargain.
This happened about 3 years ago.
Can I still get a concealed handgun license in Texas with the Class C misdemeanor convection? I read the FAQ on the Texas DPS website which stated that most misdemeanor convection may cause me not able to get the license, but I want to ask if anyone knows for sure.
Also, I got about 3 speeding tickets before, will that effect anything?
Thank you.
someone i used to know had a concealed handgun license.. he would keep his loaded .45 in this slot underneath the stereo head unit, but it was visible.
is that legal in texas??
hmm alright.. wasnt sure. Seemed a bit crazy, but thats texas for ya. YEEHAWWW
If you don't have a Concealed Handgun License can you still legally carry a CO2 powered pellet pistol concealed in Texas?
That is the real problem here is the stupid New York gun laws. If he was in Dallas and did this he would just be called stupid. The crime rate is also lower in Texas than New York. Wonder Why? Cause only thugs have guns in New York.
Speaking from recently concealed handgun holders that have mailed in their packet to Austin Texas this year.
I live in Houston, Texas and attend the University of Houston. I know it is illegal to carry on campus, but what about inside my vehicle away from prying eyes. I do have a concealed handgun license, but the guidelines say you can not carry in a school transport vehicle(shuttle bus) and nothing about my own vehicle. Perplexing!
what good is it going to do in my car, are you serious? to use it, i have to transport it, genius. Texas is no country for old men. I have the right to live just as much as anybody else. If i have to defend myself, its to get myself out of the situation rather than trying to put on a show.
Does anyone know is it now legal to keep your weapon under your seat without a concealed handgun license? Do you need to keep gun separate from the ammo?
I am a law student in Houston, and I commute by bus. It's my only option, driving myself isn't possible. Anyway, I also have my Concealed Handgun License, and I carry everywhere that I am legally allowed to.
The Bus has increasingly become a place of violence. There have been several "touched" individuals going on rampages, one of whom drew a knife and attacked the driver. I would really, really like to carry my firearm, which is legal on the bus.
Problem is, when I get off the bus, I'm in downtown Houston, and walking to a Law School (gun-free zone). My school also houses a Courthouse, so it's double illegal to carry a firearm in there.
I am absolutely committed to obeying Texas law, period. However, I want my firearm during commute.
Classes start early, too early for a bank's safe deposit box (my first thought). And unfortunately, I don't see any gun shops nearby that I could trust to secure my weapon for a few hours.
I may end up unable to do anything to remedy this, unless someone can suggest something to me.
Thanks,
Texas
Eyecue, you are a genius! How did I not think of that? I will check up on that this week!
If other people come up with other answers, please continue, just in case this doesn't pan out, but right now I'm kicking myself in the face for not coming up with this on my own.
I guess sometimes the answer is hardest to see when it's right in front of you.
As stated, a safe-deposit box won't work, as banks don't open until 9am at the earliest. I do appreciate the thought though, it was my first plan until that got in the way.
I was charged with California Penal Code 591 "Damage to a telephone/telecommunication line" in 2003 and wanted to apply for a Concealed Handgun License here in Texas and wanted to know what Texas Penal Code would be considered in my case.
I emailed CHL-DPS and someone told me it was a Class A misdemeanor, but how are they getting Class A when California don't classify misdemeanors. And what penal code are they saying mine to be since they say its a Class A misdemeanor here in Texas?
I have searched and searched... I hope you can help. I am getting into the private investigation field and have my concealed handgun license in Texas. I was wanting to know if you can carry as a PI? Any info would be helpful.

((AS FAR AS THE ACTUAL CHL LAWS, I am very familiar with the laws as to where I can car and can not cary. In Texas, you CAN cay in a place with the red circle and line going through it over the handgun, only places w/ a 51% sign, 30.06 penal code sign and so forth is where you can not carry, but thank you just the same fireman9.)) I am mainly concerned about perfoming my duty as a PI and being able to cary... some of the places you have to go are NOT the safest areas and protection is a must.
LOL!!! sorry for the missing letters in the above question... aparently hukt on foniks didnnt werk for me... :)
I was wondering if someone had felonies on their juvenile record but has not had any felonies on their adult record still buy, and get a concealed handgun license in texas?
I am going to buy a handgun, but have limited funds. I also wish to get a conceal carry license.
You must use at least a .32 caliber gun when testing for conceal carry license.
I want to buy (and carry) a ruger .22. I don't have the money to buy two handguns.
Can I borrow a gun from a family member to use for the class and testing? Or does it have to be my own gun?
and would it prevent me from getting a concealed handgun license?
I was arrested for "unlawfully carrying handgun on licensed premise" (where alcohol is served). I have a concealed handgun license. Texas law allows this unless the business derives 51% of it's income from the on-premise consumption of alcohol. This restaurant where I was arrested was legal to carry with a license. The officer arrested me anyway and I was somehow indicted for this. When they realized their mistake the case was dismissed, but I am a self-employed professional and my reputation has been compromised because my name was in the local paper regarding this incident. I realize the officer thought it was a good arrest, but it wasn't. I'm not sure this has ever happened in Texas, but it happened to me. Any thoughts on the outcome of initiating a civil suit. The legal system should know what's legal and what's not, shouldn't they?
I am in Texas, wondering how much more freedom responsible gun owners in Oklahoma have than Texans.
Texans can get them yes. But we don't have the Make My Day law. People who defend themselves against home invasion with deadly force with firearms are probably more liable to face prosecution here than in Oklahoma. I'm investigating all aspects of each of our states gun cuntrol laws and such.
Laura, in theory you are correct. And most of the time in life, what you say is correct here. However, people in Texas have been prosecuted for manslaughter for defending theirselves with deadly force during home invasion. I know of two who went to prison for manslaughter.
The Misdemeanor was not a Sex crime nor had anything to do with Violence. It was Criminal Mischief and this is over 4 years ago
My friend has his concealed handgun license and I want to get mine. He has a baby glock 40 that he wants to sell me, my question is how do you do this here in Texas. How do I get it out of his name and register it into mine, or what do you do? And yes it is a clean gun, he has the original paperwork with receipt that he will give me upon purchase...
Hi, I know this might not be the best section to ask this in but I'm assuming there will be a lot of knowledge about this topic here.
I'm from Texas, and I recently purchased a pistol to keep in my home and to possibly occasionally carry in my car or purse....... I need to know what the next steps are for me. Exactly what classes do I need and in what order. I don't know how to clean it or use it.. Would I need to learn about that before taking the concealed carry class? Or do I need to take that first?
Thanks!
I lived in Cheyenne, Wy from 92-95. While I was there I saw on numerous occasions people going in and around businesses with guns on their hips, exposed, like in the old west. I remember specifically, this one man walking out of Wal-Mart wearing chaps and he had a pistol. It was not during Frontier Days, he was obviously a rancher. My grandfather told me that it was legal. I no longer live in Cheyenne and obviously many states have different laws regarding handguns. In Texas you can obtain a concealed handgun license, but if carrying, it must not ever be exposed.
Does anyone know if anything has changed in Wyoming?
Which states recognize the the texas CHL (Concealed Handgun License) for civillians. I'm a police officer, i know we can carry our guns all over the us. The question is for civillians who posess the CHL permit. Where in the states may they carry their weapons besides the great state of Texas. Please include your source. and no guessing please
I am considering getting a license to carry a concealed handgun but would like to purchase the gun before getting the license is that possible? Dallas area.
i am 21, live in texas and have no felonies on my adult record, but i have 1 on my juvinile record. can i still get a concealed handgun license?
I have an Ohio conceal carry license but I am moving to Texas am I allowed to carry my handgun in Texas with my Ohio license or do I have to take the classes again before I can carry?
I was arrested for a class B misdemeanor last year and my lawyer got me into pretrial diversion. Im not totally sure what pretrial diversion is, but so far i have performed community service and paid $495 to the probation office. Am I disqualified from getting a concealed handgun license in Texas? Can someone explain to me what pretrial diversion is?
Does anyone out there have their Texas CHL? Can you please tell me how hard is the test? Both parts...the exam & the actual shooting test. I know the specifics of what you have to achieve to pass, but what would you rate the "difficulty" of the whole thing on a scale of 1-10? Thanks in advance.
I recently received a wonderful gift for an all-expense paid Texas CHL (Concealed Handgun License) course so that in the near future I can lawfully carry a concealed weapon and use it if necessary.
What does your religious denomination teach about using lethal force? If you are a Christian, how do you rationalize taking up arms when your God has told you clearly to "turn the other cheek"? If you are Muslim, how do you view violence in the context of your religious teachings? If you are of another religious persuasion, what are your beliefs about self defense and use of lethal force?
Feel free to quote from your Holy books as necessary. I shall be most interested to see what you have learned.
OK, so someone mentioned that the whole "turn the other cheek" thing may be taken out of context. So let's use a more specific example. When Jesus was being arrested, Peter unsheathed his sword and sliced off a man's ear to defend his master. Jesus promptly healed his captor's ear and counseled his disciple to return his sword to its place and said "those who live by the sword shall die by the sword". So in that context, of using a deadly weapon in defense of yourself or someone else, how would you rationlize using one today if you are a Christian?
I no longer have any religious affiliations, and I have no qualms about using weapons to defend myself or others.
i would like to know the estimate number of people who have a texas concealed handgun license in texas. and in houston.
10 points for any answer
