[QUOTE="txyaloo, post: 11375655, member: 23362"] That's been my take on our laws as well, and in most situations, I agree about openly carrying a long gun. Here's where it gets tricky... Federally, the firearm below is a rifle (actually a machine gun, but our penal code classifies them the same). [ATTACH=full]270787[/ATTACH] This could make things tricky since it is not a handgun, but it's also not a "long gun" as most LE would see it. What would you do if you were interacting with a CHL holder, and they were carrying that in a CHL prohibited (30.06 or 51%) establishment? Let's assume there are no "no guns" signs, and said person is compliant if the firearm is discovered and freely leave if asked. Would you arrest them for UCW? I'm not a proponent of open carry, so this is just discussion for the sake of discussion. What if said actor is openly carrying that same firearm in public and not on premises they control (where open carry is legal)? The firearm is still legally a rifle even though it may not fit the traditional view of a long gun. Do you believe most LE in Texas would believe that the gun pictured is a rifle, not a handgun? Of course, when carrying an NFA item like that, the appropriate federal paperwork establishing NFA registration would also be carried and presented to LE. [/QUOTE]
