May want to have him print it out and keep with him.
This is so weird, I just thought about posting this same vanity....I saw some TX laws posted at a gun show recently and can not find them online... they were much more lenient than I thought.....like you don’t need a CL license for many places u go.....????? I believe I remember that....because I was surprised...
It’s Texas — you’d sure think they’d all know.
A shotgun in the trunk won’t do a lot of good if he gets accosted while driving and surely he isn’t expected to take the shotgun along with the pizza to every household. Can he carry an imitation gun in the passenger compartment itself? (Usually an attacker who sees one will not wait to check it out, but will flee.)
Call the National Rifle Association. They will answer questions.
Vehicle carry and transportation: unlicensed individuals and non-residents may not carry handguns on or about their persons while in a vehicle. loaded rifles and shotguns may be carried in plain view or in a case
Hope this helps. The above is a synopsis of Texas law.
Keep in mind...it is not currently legal to carry a gun unconcealed in Texas...so he cannot show it to anyone. Also, tell him not to show his friends as one of them will tell someone who will eventually steal the gun.
