New Law Allows Unlicensed Weapons In The Car
(CBS 11 News) FORT WORTH A license is no longer required to carry a gun inside a vehicle, as long as that gun is hidden.
This is part of House Bill 1815, which not only allows firearms, but other weapons as well. Swords, clubs, tomahawks and blades over five inches long were once considered illegal. Now, all can be carried inside a vehicle so long as they remain concealed.
Proponents said this law maintained Second Amendment rights, however, police officers worry about what they might face in the future.
"It's unfortunate that we are going to have to, more than likely, deal with those situation," said Det. Sandra Castillo. "But that's our job, and we just have to be ready for it, if it does happen. We don't have a choice."
There are some restrictions to the law: you cannot be involved in a gang, you cannot be a convicted felon and you cannot be in the process of committing a crime.
