  1. Texas law specifically says the government can’t do that unless there is a compelling reason. You know, just like New York’s old law for issuing carry permits.

    There are specific places stated in the law that prohibit guns such as professional sports events and INSIDE schools — but the grounds are OK.

    Private property owners can place restrictions, but that generally would only be misdemeanor trespassing charges. And if you happen to be carrying in such a place and use your gun to stop a criminal shooter, the state says “stopped harm, no foul.”
