As a Texan *_YEEHAW_*, I'm keeping the license though!

Thanks for keeping it simple and direct. I asked a law enforcement friend what advantage there was to getting a carry permit and her answer was when you are stopped by law enforcement it puts their mind at ease when approaching someone they've stopped for whatever reason. This has been a headache for our law enforcement community because they don't know what your intent is with open carrying.

I am a retired prosecutor and former CHL instructor. This video was well done.

[Tokes]

Thank you for the video I’ve recently purchased my first firearm and this makes me feel a lot more secure and well informed

[outcastfisherman]

Great video! Lots of people tell me it’s only open carry included in the bill. So thanks for clearing that up. I’ve had my ltc for a while now and will let it expire because of the new law. It’s just my personal belief that I shouldn’t need a license to carry my legal firearm. But I also understand why others would want to keep the ltc. Thanks for the information brother!

Can you please make a video on the actual handgun laws in the state of Texas, for example magazine size, ammunition type we could use in that state.

[Otakucollabz]

Once again, great information. I kept getting biased news coverage when looking for the information then decided to check your channel. Guess it’s time to turn on the notifications

[treskingos]

Can a disabled veteran with documented medical depression be able to own a firearm in Texas? I recently moved here and want to avoid the embarrassment of going to a gun store and be denied of purchase. Thank you.

So they changed school, premises.

I remember reading a story last year about a dad with a license caring openly right up to the school door, and they called the police but he was within the chl guidelines and nothing could be done.

[techiemarksman]

Great video very informative and helpful

[uspdthm]

So, how does this affect carrying in your vehicle? Does it still need to be "out of plain sight"? Or, can you lay it on your seat next to you out in the open?

[kaychase]

So if concealed carrying whether in your pants or in your backpack you don’t need a holster, only if you open carry?

[andrewlucas]

I have a video suggestion... what is the requirements and exceptions for people between the age of 18-20 for obtaining an ltc?

[DDLTex]

Straight to the point, Thanks God Bless you !

[techguyfun]

Great content. Very precise and on point.

[johnq]

What if you moved to texas exactly 1 year ago, but still have an out of state driver's license? are there residency requirements? Thanks.

[its_JKO]

So let me get this straight.
If a business has a 30.06 or 30.07 sign up…but I don’t have a license…I can still carry on the premises without consequence? But people WITH a license will get in trouble?

Am I understanding that correctly? It sounds very backwards to me.

My brother was in law enforcement. Please be aware that in Texas, there are many undertrained peace officers and a disturbingly large number of corrupt officers who have little regard for citizens rights, and will take the law into their own hands. In other words, if an officer is having a bad day, they will knowingly break the law themselves and violate a citizen's civil rights because they feel like it. Other officers will, all too often, help in covering up civil rights violations to protect their fellow officers. Corrupt peace officers are a Very Small minority in Texas, but their numbers are high enough to intimidate me from carrying a weapon. In the Real World, I would advise against it.

[BryceKant]

How does this effect those TABC signs that say "the unlicensed possession of the firearm on this premise is a felony...", the signs that are at places that sell alcohol for off-site consumption?

[LeuCustomKnives]

I think most people are still are unaware of constitutional carry is in place. If not for my brother in law telling me I’d probably have zero clue about it.
