I responded to a sheriff station a few months ago to do an evidentiary blood draw on a man who was arrested for DUI. They were also charging him with unlawful possession of a handgun. It was wrapped in a towel, under a seat. They said it would have been fine if it had been in a holster under the seat. There was an algorithm on the wall behind where the man was sitting that bore this out. You could be legal to possess in all respects and still get charged if the gun is not in a holster. If I have handguns in the vehicle, they are either in a holster on my hip, or in a holster inside my range bag., or in a holster in the center console. I'm in Texas.

[@PrimalDefenseCo]

Under those circumstances, arrested for DWI, someone will probably get charged with unlawful carry even if it is in a holster under Texas Penal code 46.02.

Good vid. I'm sure everything I'm about to comment on is somewhere below, but I'll comment anyway. I truly understand the demonstrations of placing a firearm out of sight in the cargo area, door pocket, etc. People get confused when the law changes. However, we are far more likely to get into an MVA many times over the likeliness of having to defend ourselves (the reason we carry). I've worked enough wrecks to know stuff gets scattered all over the place. Don't want our firearm off running around in the bushes after we've put our pumpkins through the wind screen. Centre console, especially the deeper ones, is probably a safe space, maybe the glove box, but again I've seen glove boxes pop open like a jack-in-the-box during a wreck. Anyway, good vid. We always need a reminder, especially when laws change like they did here in TX.

In the county I live in, if you are carrying a gun in your car and you commit another crime, such as DWI, Racing on Highway, Reckless Driving, etc., they will also charge you with unlawful carrying a weapon. In the majority of cases I've seen, they will dismiss the UCW if you forfeit the weapon.

[@PrimalDefenseCo]

In Texas, that is all across the board. But just as in your county, the way D.A.s offices handle the case is up to their discretion, such as dropping charges if someone forfeits their firearm.

[@glennellis1584]

~ Before Sept/1st, 2021 the unlicensed carry in the vehicle was specifically pemitted by statute. "Not in plain sight". This was passed several sessions back to combat the carjacking.

I asked last video about open carrying with your gun holstered in the cup holder. Today I actually seen a cop getting lunch and asked him and he said as long as the firearm stays in the holster you can place it wherever you want. You just can’t have the firearm it’s self sitting in the cupholder.

[@PrimalDefenseCo]

Thats how I read the law. But that goes only for people 21 and over, or people under 21 with a license to carry. Me personally, if I were to stop someone with a gun in a cupholder, 21 or not, I wouldn't care. It's their business.

[@jaypap73]

Are the holsters that alien gear make legal? The one that is a holster that attaches to your seat. Since it’s holstered does that fall into the open carry category.

[@PrimalDefenseCo]

The way it is stated in the new law is that it can be carried openly, if you are 21 and over and are not prohibited, or have an LTC, and the handgun is "carried in a holster". The problem with that is that it leads to a bit of interpretation. If it is off your body is it being carried? If it is in your car will it be considered as being carried? I honestly do not believe it would be a problem. But you just never know.

[@altonkenne579]

You can carry it there.

If it is concealed or out of plain sight, by law, it does not need to be in a holster.

[@metatronmen2431]

Is mandatory in Texas have a holster if the gun is in your body. Beginning September 1, 2021, HB1927 made it legal in Texas for most people 21 or over to carry a handgun in a holster without a permit both openly and/or concealed.

[@PrimalDefenseCo]

There is no mandate to have it in a holster if it is concealed. It is required to be in a holster if carried openly. Regardless, I strongly suggest a person uses a good holster.

[@DerbyBandit]

Great info….what about these gun mounts that go under the driver side dash, like where your feet go? It’s out of “plain view” but had a cop say it was in “plain view”. Or is it one of those Officer discretion deals?

[@PrimalDefenseCo]

Officers will use their discretion as to what is visible. But if it's not in plain sight, it is not in plain sight even if they say it is. Unfortunately if you get in trouble, you will need an attorney to straighten that out for you. Here is a little video on those mounts 👇 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmW1nJaMorB5h6s

Unfortunately each state is different. But in New Mexico and Arizona you should be good to have in your vehicle. I would do more research on that before you decide to take it with you.

[@carlosr.153]

Hi there, what would you recommend me, as a LTC owner. Would you recomend open carry in a holster or concealed ?? Talking about a habitual traffic stop Thank you

[@PrimalDefenseCo]

I recommend concealed carry in a holster. I understand that it is sometimes difficult or uncomfortable when driving. So if it can't be on your person while driving, then in a place where you can still get it in an emergency and it is not openly viewed by other people. My 2 cents.

[@theoldshooter9011]

Being from NC, when I visit relatives in El Paso, I can conceal carry because of our states reciprocity and I possess an NC CCL correct?

Yes, but now, as long as you are over 21 and do not have certain convictions, you do not need a license to open or conceal carry.

[@PrimalDefenseCo]

No, the exception is, if the gun is concealed, there is no holster requirement. A holster is required only when the firearm is carried openly.

[@kerrymorris1892]

Watching TV I have noticed a lot of cops ask if you are carrying? When someone says yes, they use it as an excuse to remove them from the vehicle and then search the vehicle. In Texas, 1. does a constitutional carry have to give notice to an officer that they are carrying? 2. If not suspected of a crime and a cop asks the question, are you required to truthfully answer? 3. Can you ask or demand that you are suspected of a crime before answering any questions not related to your DL and insurance?

[@PrimalDefenseCo]

Under case law Pennsylvania V. Mimms and Maryland V. Wilson, police do not need an excuse to have you step out of your vehicle as long as they have you on a legal traffic stop. When detained even for a traffic stop, an officer can pat you down for weapons. You don't need to answer any questions other than providing your identifying info. If lawfully detained. Randomly being asked to ID by an officer, you do not need to answer. But if you are suspected of a crime or believed to be a witness to a crime, then you do need to provide identifying info. If you are under arrest, lawfully detained, or believed to be a witness to a crime and you provide false identifying info, you will be charged with Failure to ID TPC 38.02. You do not need to tell him that you are carrying, but I do. The stops have gone smoothly and no citations. All my citations have been before I started carrying. The decision is yours.

[@kerrymorris1892]

@@PrimalDefenseCo I graduated from a Tx police academy in 1988 and received my TCLEOSE certification after passing the state exam. I also completed two 6 month interns with police departments, one of which was Dallas PD., but got sidetracked into the Marine Corps and an injury left me paralyzed while waiting on an academy date for a federal agency. Your response was very good and detailed. I will never have any problems in the event I’m pulled over by the police. I’m no longer an expert on police procedures and the latest laws, especially when it comes to carrying a weapon. I do hate seeing video of police crossing the line of violating civil liberties in the name of officer safety which is sometimes an excuse to go on a fishing expedition. I would of been extremely guilty of this had I went to work as an officer because that is what I was taught. I didn’t reread my original reply but I believe it was about officers in states other than Texas over reacting to drivers who admit to legally carrying a weapon and then being removed from their vehicle and having everything searched. Essentially being treated like someone suspected of a crime when there was no such suspicion and the only thing that lead to being removed from the vehicle followed by the gun being secured and the entire vehicle being searched was a statement of having a gun in the vehicle. I can’t imagine that is ok or legal in any state. I’m looking forward to an overzealous officer using “his safety” as an excuse to pull me out of the vehicle and separate me from my weapon. Driving from a wheelchair and it being impossible to exit my truck on the side of the road in most situations, will put any overzealous officer in a conundrum.

[@PrimalDefenseCo]

@@kerrymorris1892 Im a 12 year officer in deep south Texas. And you are right, some officers are overzealous. I do my best to educate the public in what their rights are. And I also educate Law enforcement on what the public's rights are. After all they are a member of the public themselves.

Must be out of plain sight in your vehicle. It can be on your person. You do not need a holster. You can carry a rifle just about anywhere people are allowed to carry a rifle, no license needed.

[@JermaineDFW]

I get confused. Help me out I’ve seen all of these statements. Felon yes can carry on them in car concealed with holster etc as long as it has been 5 years released from supervision or conviction Someone with a misdemeanor assault or assault on family member I’ve seen yes after 5 years release of supervision or conviction and I’ve seen no not ever. What is the correct statement please and thank you.

[@PrimalDefenseCo]

Felons can possess under state law 5 years AFTER release from supervision or confinement. In other words, 5 years after their punishment is completed. They can only possess it in their home. Not in their car or anywhere else. The only time when a felon can have it in their car is when taking it home after buying it. You will only be able to buy one in a private sale. This is under Texas state law. However, under federal law, someone cannot sell one to a felon, ever. And a felon can never possess a handgun anywhere, ever. So it is a risk.

I am 20 and I carry my handgun concealed out of plain view in my car. If I got pulled over would I have to prove my ownership of the firearm? I carry the bill of sale in my car just in case but was just wondering.

[@brianpark6185]

@@PrimalDefenseCo "In Texas, a person can transport a handgun in their vehicle or a vehicle "under the person's control" if they are otherwise allowed to possess a firearm, with some exceptions. If the handgun is in "plain view," a person must be over 21 or have a License to Carry (LTC) and have the firearm in a holster. House Bill 1927 eliminated the requirement to have a License to Carry (LTC) to keep a handgun in plain view within a vehicle. "

It is not against state law. However the transfer of firearm to someone 17 years of age must be approved by the parent. There is no guarantee that you will not be hassled. I've heard of 17 year Olds get arrested. Although the elements of the offense are not met. I suggest you get US law Shield and use promo code "primaldef" .

Hello Texan here. i had a situation today where an angry road raging driver followed me and stopped behind me at a red light (where i couldnt drive away) and got out of the vehicle before approaching the driver side window and punching it in a threatening manor (although he didnt break my window). I waited for the light to turn green and quickly drove off. Do i have the right to use a firearm in self defense from my vehicle in this situation? Of course I don’t want to shoot somebody unless absolutely necessary but today it seemed like I was trapped in a bad situation. Many thanks.
