    that there are degrees of printing and some degree of printing could be deemed intentional failure to conceal.

    This was discussed here years ago. It would be an extreme case and is unrealistic. In every practical sense, printing is not illegal.

    Regarding the BBQ cook thing at your house. Its a premises under your control, you can already legally open carry if I understand the law correctly. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    So this law wouldn't clear anything up there, because it was never illegal?

    Re-read Post 149. It has been illegal since 1871.

    Well perhaps if we consulted the Penal Code it would be easer to figure out:


    Sec. 46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun, illegal knife, or club if the person is not:
    (1) on the person's own premises or premises under the person's control; .


    It clearly states if you aren't on your own premises or a premises under your control. My house is my premises.... So therefore I can legally open carry there?


    (3) "Premises" means a building or a portion of a
    building. The term does not include any public or private driveway,
    street, sidewalk or walkway, parking lot, parking garage, or other
    parking area.

    It doesn't specifically restrict my front yard that does not have a walkway. Its all grass. So as long as I don't set foot on my driveway or sidewalk or any walkway I'm good.

    The law does not change what the owner can do, that is correct. It changes what the guests can do.

    We were talking about guests coming over for a BBQ and open carrying, not the property owner. That would be illegal now (for the guests) but on Sept 1 that will change.
