[QUOTE="txyaloo, post: 11374327, member: 23362"] AFAIK, Texas law doesn't define what is a pistol or a rifle. Any person can pay $200 to the federal government, engrave their information on a gun, and it becomes a short barrel rifle. Thus, federally it is a rifle. Texas' penal code specifically outlines the legalities of short barrel rifles, and it never says they can't be carried or carried concealed. An illegal knife, club, etc is defined in the same section of the penal code. If a person is caught and told to leave, but refuses, it could be trespassing, but I don't see how it could be criminal mischief of any sort since it isn't illegal to concealed carry a rifle. Essentially, from my reading and understanding, a person can carry a short barrel rifle, concealed, anywhere except the locations listed below or a building that has no guns signage. This means a CHL holder carrying an SBR can ignore 30.06 signs since that section of the penal code only applies to persons carrying a [I]handgun[/I] under the authority of their CHL. I just wondered what some of the legal minds thought of this. [/QUOTE]
