What are the general gun laws in Texas?

Question

I hear that everyone is packing in Texas and that you should never aim a gun at anyone there as well. Could someone please elaborate on that and/or tell me what a person can and cannot do (legally) with a firearm in Texas?

Answer 2

Everyone always act's like everyone in Texas is a gun toting hillbilly with giant hats. You have to have a concealed weapons permit to carry a gun, you can't just walk down the street with a gun out.

Answer 3

Barring you do not have a criminal or felony record and you have a good reason to carry a concealed weapon on your person,you can under the second amendment bare arms to protect you,family,home.

One person shot a man who came to repossess his truck when he came on the property without permission, and no charges were filed against that home owner so what does that tell you about Texas,law when it comes to barrings arms.

Answer 4

Texas has gun laws?

Nah, but really, they are very lenient when it comes to gun legislation.  Unrestricted pistol or long gun ownership unrestricted except by age.  "Shall issue" concealed carry.  All in all, a pretty good gun owner state.  God bless Texas.
