Texas law cleary states ( tell me if I miss something )...Subchapter H, Chapter 411....
(d) A license holder commits an offense if, while intoxicated, the license holder carries a handgun under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, regardless of whether the handgun is concealed.
Just asking....so....I am at home...drunk as a skunk....and just by possessing or carrying a firearm at home....I am breaking the law?
I know this is for the "license" holder from the state, which I am not one, but if you do have one.....makes no sense to me...
The state is saying that if I am .08 and an intruder breaks in to my house, it is legal to shoot him, but I will be arrested for carrying a firearm because I am intoxicated?
I would think it should look somethng like Missouri....:
(5) Has a firearm or projectile weapon readily capable of lethal use on his or her person, while he or she is intoxicated, and handles or otherwise uses such firearm or projectile weapon in either a negligent or unlawful manner or discharges such firearm or projectile weapon unless acting in self-defense;
Please advise.....
Just moved back to Texas....just doing research.
