Is there a size limitation on CCW?

I've never had a CHL but I carried an AKM with an East German side-folding stock and a 20-round magazine on a sling under a duster more than once in my younger days.
The .380 rule is during CHL qualifying, I couldn't remember.

There is no .380 rule for qualifying for a CHL.

There is no .380 rule for qualifying for a CHL.

There was a rule at one time, not sure if it's still there.

I checked the DPS web site. The only thing I found is that CHL Instructors have to qualify with a .32 semiauto or larger and a .38 non-semiauto or larger.

I seem to remember the .32 rule applied when I did my renewal.

txinvestigator is correct as usual--The rule is .32 or above for handguns

No, there was never a .380 rule.

As mentioned above, you must qualify with a .32 or larger.

I thought this thread was about carry restrictions.

I think the only .380 rule is that everyone should have one... I support that rule...

LOL! I did the same with a folding stock Mini-14 under a trench coat. Hung it muzzle down over my left shoulder, with the top of the weapon facing backwards, in what's called the "professional hunter carry". To bring it up, grab the stock with the left hand and twist as you bring it up, and it comes neatly into position at the right shoulder.

Oooooh... Very nice...

Carry an SBR or SBS. As long as you have the tax stamp, keeping it totally concealed is not mandatory.

 

[SC-Texas]

As far as I know, the carry laws are governed by Unlawful carry of a weapon and as far as firearms, it only addresses handguns.

Therefore, you do not need a CHL to carry a shotgun, rifle or machinegun concealed as the legislature never legislated the concelaed carry of any firearm other than a handgun.

No size limit and no maximum number....as long as they are all 100% concealed.
