In Texas... can’t speak for other states. If you have your LTC, (This question does not pertain to those who don’t have an LTC) You can carry concealed on your body in any manner, outside of a vehicle or while inside a vehicle. To openly carry, the handgun must be in a belt holster or shoulder holster. This applies inside or outside a vehicle.
if your on your own personal property that you own, rent or lease, or even on mutual owned property such as a parking lot at a apartment or condo complex, and your going back n forth between your dwelling and vehicle this does not apply.
so my question... I go to my local mall, they don’t have a 30.06 or 30.07 sign. My gun is in glove compartment, center console compartment, or even trunk of my vehicle. For the 5-10 seconds it takes to remove or replace the handgun from that concealed compartment to my body, or vice versa the gun is in plains view and not a n a shoulder holster or belt holster. That Technically is illegal isn’t it? Or has something like this ever made it to court to become case law?
I don’t see this as being a big issue in Texas, unless their are other mitigating circumstances. However I could see this being an issue in other states.
