Reference the definition of concealed handgun in paragraph (3)... First let's look at what it DOESN'T say... ...means a handgun, the presense of which is not discernible... Now, what it actually says... ...means a handgun, the presense of which is not OPENLY discernible... Why the adverb 'openly'. W...

So...

What is the punishment for the unlicensed possession of a firearm in the same location if it doesnt sell alchohol and doesnt have the 'Unlicensed...' sign in front or a 3006, say at a shoestore?

The sign says 'Unliscenced Posession." Since there's no such thing as a liscence requirement to posess a firearm in the Stata of Texas, this sign is nonsense! My CHL is 'Liscenced Concealed Carry." The only thing I have for possessing the firearm is my receipt from where I purchased it. :...

You see these signs everywhere...usually at corner stores... 'The unlicsenced possession of a firearm on these premises is a felony and is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine,,,; Why?

I would like to know if there are and where there might be forum sites similar to TexasCHLForum.com for each of these states...LA, MS, AL, GA, SC, NC, VA, TN and AR. Im not talking about general gun law sites like http://www.handgunlaw.us" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or h...

I will of course study all of the individual state laws to be very familiar but does anyone have any advise or warnings involving any of those states that jump out and come to mind. I will...

The only way to really get to a practical 'bottom' of the subject of the definition of 'conspicuous' as it relates to signage posting is to find previous determinations in prior cases where the 'conspicuous' became a point of argument that had to be resolved. It can be in chl cases (the best to hope...

This is to Charles Cotton or anyone who is familiar with the subject. I am not a lawyer but I did work for one of the largest firms in Dallas for a few years back in the seventies and my duties taught me a few things. How can we research specific case law dealing with chl issues? Where can we look u...

Oh no! Im not about to test the system. Being new to this Im just curious about all of the details.

tex

yes. In all other respects it meets specs. the definition of 'conspicuous' can not be simply that the sign is 'discoverable by deliberate search'. Doesnt it have to be 'obvious' to someone upon entry?

tex and thanks for the welcome

Went to the Longview Mall today (Longview, Texas) to see if they really do have a 30.06. Yes they do. Far to the right of the main entrance. http://longviewbluegrass.com/images/longviewmallchl.jpg In fact is it behind a big support pillar. Easily seen if you look 45 degrees to your right and 15 feet...
