Please read carefully:
I am fully aware of the process of owning a silencer in Texas. I just purchased one and had my prints done today. I want to know the other legalities. What are the laws concerning things like transport, carry, concealed vs. unconcealed, prohibited places, etc.
I don't care to hear, "well the D.A. will nail you and _____". I am fully aware that I am up the creak if I do something stupid with a silencer and that it is not politically correct to own them. I'm not saying that I want to push the law to the limit the moment I get this, but I want to know what the limits are so that I don't accidentally cross them. Moreover, I've grown so sick to death of old wive's tales concerning gun laws, that I want to start getting these things cleared up.
When I got my CHL, my intent was to carry everywhere legal. Well, I spent twice as much on this device as I did on my CHL, so my intent is to use it for "all lawful purposes" as I put on my Form 4. So, what are "all lawful purposes" as defined by Texas law? What about carrying a silencer attached to a loaded pistol in my car, etc.? If possible can people post links to official websites that state the law?
