I live in Texas as well. If I walk out the door I'm armed, shoulder hostler, when I get back home I am armed as well, with my shoulder hostler. I trust nobody. Thank you for his video.
Same.
Thank you for watching. Appreciate you!
What is a hostler, ?? did you mean holster, ???
I carry while I’m in the shower.
@@fallenseraph5V that's what's up.
@@nutindoin2 Are you the comment police? Loser.
Growing up in Texas, my uncles used to carry their riffles on a gun rack by the rear windows of their trucks.
You can still do that. But nowadays people don't have much respect and will break in and steal it.
@@PrimalDefenseCo Out in the Texas brush country, everyone live by a code of hard work, morality and decency and that wasn't a problem.
@@stevegarcia9098 work hard to keep it that way. There are people out there working hard to change it.
Same experience when I was a kid. Technically you can still do this, but these days parking outside for more than 30 mins or so would mean coming back to a smashed window and guns gone.
riffles, ????
We just had a law pass in Louisiana, concealed carry, no permit,18 years of age.
@@JRoy-1969 just saw that! Congratulations Louisiana 🎉
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.
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.
Yep
same
Good info. However, let me add that you’re assuming it wasn’t in a holster.
@@PrimalDefenseCoI was going to say the same. Goes for having drugs around the gun. You’re getting charged either way.
I got pulled over in Beeville, TX and I was asked if I had any weapons. I informed the officer that I had a pistol in my console. He asked me to open it so he could see it. I did and I had it in a holster. He said that I was all good since it was in a holster. I respectfully told him that he needed to review the law because it actually doesn’t matter since it wasn’t in plain sight. Never assume that the police know the law. He was cool about it and It was a good experience.
That is true.
If you are a policeman in the state of Texas, assume they have a gun and pull yours as you leave your car. Live safe and long .
I was recently stopped because of brake light issue and gave my carry license and had my gun inside the center console and DPS officer told me the exact same thing. She was reciting that a gun in the state of Texas if you are carrying in the vehicle should be holstered, that really surprised me.
Where is beeville Texas? What city is nearest to the city?
Goliad probably.
God Bless Texas 🤘🏼 we’re a different breed out here

In Texas, your vehicle is an extension of your home. Texans have been allowed to carry in the vehicle well before the constitutional carry laws were passed.
@@texas_man_the_legend that is correct. People don't know that though. That's what we are trying to do on this channel.

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.
Will most definitely go flying if not secure. I prefer to carry it on myself.
Very useful and descriptive. The examples after the educational part, excellent! Do one for every state please...
@@salv0xmerey that is the plan. If this vid makes it to a million views, that will be in my sights. I appreciate the support! Thank you 👍

Thanks brother. Appreciate the support

@@deltaactual8286may be Lufkin TX
Please do not just toss your firearm in a seat, under a seat, or just lose in your cargo area. If you need it and you have to stop or accelerate abruptly, chances are it will move and not be where you expect it to be. That's not something you want in a situation where you need to get to it quickly. I have a kydex holster the the belt clip attaches nicely to the side pocket and map pocket on the side of my center console. You can also get magnets meant retaining handguns in automobiles. If you have a large center console, I suggest affixing a kydex holster in there so it's always in the same position, preferably with the grip oriented in a way that makes it easy to grab.
We have a more detailed and updated vid. About a month old. Appreciate the feedback brother.

@@PrimalDefenseCo So what if you’re 20 years old with a clean record, but without a license to carry? Can I legally carry a pistol in my vehicle? And if so, it has to be out of plain sight? Just clearing it up as I was still a little confused after watching the video a few times. Thank you in advance. ❤️

I carry concealed (on my person) always.
@@Calico5string1962 I'm from the 956. Way down south!
~ 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.
Correct, and it has not changed for people under 21 years of age.
It has changed for people 21 and over.

@@3dmusic377 you are correct. You can carry it, must be out of plain sight in TX.
@@PrimalDefenseCo does out of plain sight also fall under conceal carry? Or can you not have it on your person if your under 21 without any license
@@purg3240 you can have it on you concealed in your car.
If you are under 21, you can't carry it out of your car in a public space without a license to carry.
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.
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.
Yeah. I’m 21 and have my license. I only place my firearm holstered in the cup holder when I’m one the road for multiple hours.
@@jaypap73 I usually pin it between arm rest and seat. Got to make room for that Texas sweet tea.
@@PrimalDefenseCo If you have it in plain sight you need to be really careful how you move and talk to a leo they aren't exactly known for being rational around weapons with certain people
I will never understand why people dont just leave the gun on themselves when driving. My conceal carry doesnt come off from the minute I leave my house to the minute I get home. Why take it off in the vehicle? I have great access to my 4 o'clock position while seated.
Much thanks !
Thank you! Thanks for the support!
For holsters, I like the SERPA holster as it unlocks with the trigger finger.
If I open carry, I prefer a holster with a lock too. I mostly conceal carry unless the occasion calls for open carry.
So, no matter how I travel with it...it has to be in a holster...I keep mine in a soft lunch box type bag...does it have to be in a holster ...
If it is concealed or out of plain sight, by law, it does not need to be in a holster.
in the late 80s in texas we depended on the texas travelers law for carrying a gun in your car, live in one county, travel from that county through another county into another county, it was okay to have a gun in your car, in texas. i made the mistake of thinking the truth is always best, going from texas to New Orleans i got sleepy and pulled off the highway to grab a quick nap, not being familiar with the layout of the parrish's i couldn't find my way back on the interstate, 3 am and driving up and down streets looking for an on ramp, so i get pulled over, first words from the officer, do you have weapons in the car, yes i do, so after a long discussion, several hours and finally taken to a judge later that morning, i lost the gun and was finally on my way. they don't give a crap in Louisiana how legal it is in texas it ain't legal here.
Ahh man, that's terrible.
I know Louisiana just passed constitutional carry a few days ago. I don't have all the details on that yet.
They do accept the Texas LTC though.
Louisiana makes up their laws as they go and if you have Texas plates you stand an excellent chance of getting a ticket.
Creepy that I was thinking about this and it pops up
Gov can see read your thoughts it’s to late they actually can control you you an your thoughts
I've seen something about wifi and AI able to read brain waves.
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
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.
Good job thanks.
Thank you. Really appreciate it.
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.
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.
I live in Texas and most people I know have about a half dozen guns in all the places you mentioned:)
You keep great company 😆
@@PrimalDefenseCo , God bless Texas.
@@WFS-of9eq amen!
Thank you so much, I just turn 21 and got my first handgun been wondering how could I carry my handgun in my truck the right way.
Thank you. Appreciate you taking the time.
Just to clarify I’m over 21 and not licensed. Can I keep my fire arm in plane view carried in a holster and loaded?
In a holster, plain view. The exact wording is, "Carried in a holster".
Section 46.02 of the Texas Penal Code
No it must be hidden.
It no longer has to be hidden in your vehicle. I carry on my right side with my shirt tucked behind it where it can't really be seen, and then I move the holster around to conceal it when I get out.
DO NOT leave a weapon in plain view an unoccupied vehicle. That goes without saying though
Concealed or in a holster Concealed...that's what my instructor said but I could be wrong...2024
I had a question, I’m traveling to Arizona next week and I’ll pass through NM. I’m 20 years old and I have a handgun, I know it’s legal for me to have it in Texas but would it be legal to have it concealed in my vehicle going to the other states even though I’m not 21 and don’t have a ltc.
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.
So can we use magnets holders on the bottom part of dash board near the right knee
As long as the firearm remains out of plain sight.Unless the magnet can be used in conjunction with a holster.
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?
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 👇

WARNING: Pencils are now banned, and spoon must be plastic with a handle no longer that 2.5". Thank you.
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.
Great video! One question, does my handgun need to be holstered if it’s inside the center console or the side of my door? Or can I just leave my handgun as it is without a holster.
Without a holster as long as it is not in plain view.
@@PrimalDefenseCo sounds good, thank you sir!
@@boss2654 thank you man.
How about in an ammo box with important papers on the passenger side floorboard ?
You can carry it there.

Sorry to hear that man. If you don't mind, what did the officer get you for exactly? How did he say you were unlawfully carrying?

Not true. Stay safe, stay ready, and keep one in the chamber.

You can. I don't recommend pocket carry without a holster.
And in your car, as long as the pistol remains out of plain sight.
@@PrimalDefenseCo Thank you for the knowledge. Awesome videos!
@@DIYcedarhilltx thank you for the support!
Can you put your pistol in the glovebox and center console without holster now? Not advised but can you
As long as it is not in plain sight, it does not need a holster by law.
If it is out in the open, it must be carried in a holster.
So a few questions, just purchased my first handgun and going to get my LTC for the hell of it but for now, without one, can I carry my firearm inside of a vehicle without an LTC as long as it’s hidden? My brother and I car pool to work every morning and it’s his car will this change anything?
How old are you?
@@PrimalDefenseCo 23
@@Chrxs210 you are good bud. If it's carried openly, just make sure it's in a holster.
Unless you have been convicted of certain offenses.
Does anyone have any how the open situation applies to AR-pistols? Technically a handgun right? Can’t put it in a holster so curious if it’s frowned upon to carry in the front seat at the ready? Just a thought appreciate any thoughts y’all have on the subject
Yeah. Unfortunately it's a pistol....pistol rules apply. So it's got to be in a holster. Im sure we can figure something out that would make it convenient and practical.
@@PrimalDefenseCo thanks for the reply
@@PrimalDefenseCo How about getting ATF permission to convert the AR pistol into a short-barreled rifle? Then replace the pistol brace with an actual shoulder stock. It would now be considered a rifle, wouldn't it?
@@Archimedes616 yes. Once an SBR it would be a rifle. So its wouldn't need to be in a holster.
@@Archimedes616 that’s a good suggestion and I do have an SBR at home. I guess logistically I don’t feel particularly comfortable leaving NFA items unattended in the car. However a cheap-ish AR pistol has fewer consequences if something happened to it. I’ve been experimenting with ways to have ready access to the AR pistol while keeping it out of direct view of anyone passing by.
Hello I will be traveling from Texas ->Oklahoma -> Arkansas soon but I'm wondering if I can take my handgun with me in the car loaded or unloaded without ccw I'm not sure if they allow permitless carry to from other states Thank you
Looks like their laws are about the same as ours. Constitutional carry.

Hey I have a question, I’m 18 looking to get my first handgun. At this point in time I do not have an LTC however I am looking to get one in the near future. From my understanding I am able to carry in a vehicle or vehicle under my control as long as it’s concealed, before I get my LTC, is that correct? I have a clean record as well.
That is correct.
@@PrimalDefenseCoThanks
Would it be ok to have my SBR rifle in the passenger seat with a jacket over it? Or does this only apply to hand guns?
That is ok, but technically an SBR is a rifle, there is no legal requirement to keep it out of plain sight.
@@PrimalDefenseCo thanks for the reply man!
@@KN_SBR89 very much welcome
Can i use a magnet strip under my dash without my gun in its holster?
Under the law, as long as it is not in plain sight.
So yes. Just position it in a way that someone can't see it from outside your car.
I know several people carrying micro guns in their pockets without holsters. Are there exceptions to the holster law based on gun size?
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.
I'm traveling to Texas this week from Oklahoma which is constitutional carry as well. Just to be clear, I'm a veteran over 21, with a clean record. Is there any reason I can't carry my pistol in the glove box while I travel. Thanks for the info.
No reason at all. You can carry in your vehicle. Can carry it on you. If it's in plain view just keep it holstered.
Can also carry it in public.

@@PrimalDefenseCo Law changed! It can be on plain sight but it has to be in a holster
@@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. "
@@brianpark6185 correct. Unless you are under 21 and do not have a License to carry or if your have been convicted of certain misdemeanors.
Other than that it can be in plain view as long as it is carried in a holster.
So I’m Under 21 can I carry with no license out of plain sight on my self no holster no record and its legal? Also can I carry handguns or rifles?
You cannot carry a handgun outside of your vehicle, residence, or business if you do not have a license to carry. You can pretty much carry on property under your control only. 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.
You should do update video on new laws
We are working on remaking a bunch of vids. Some are a bit outdated. I appreciate you man.
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?
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.
@@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.
@@kerrymorris1892 Im a 12 year officer in deep south Texas. And you are right, some officers are overzealous.

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.
So I’m 21 and I just bought a pistol. I can carry it concealed without a ccw? And anywhere that doesn’t prohibit firearms?
You can. Here is a video on that👇👇👇

I mounted a cheap holster to the side of my center console, pistol comes off of me and then rides in that holster while traveling then before I get out just pull from that holster and go into the one on my belt, easy
I got a similar rig in my truck.
Same here.
Can I have it out of holster attached to magnet under steering wheel?
@@darthfootballmaniacs7589 you can. Technically as long as it is not in plain view it is good to go.
If it's on a magnet and in plain view, someone might have a problem with it.

The best doggo.
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.
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.
Anybody know if techna clip is considered a holster??
I would not consider it a holster.
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.
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.
Sooo, if you have your firearm, DON'T BE STUPID!
😅😅
I enjoyed the video.
So I’m 17 in Texas can I drive around with my 380. If it’s in the glovebox
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" .
Do you have to carry your gun with a holster in your car no matter if you can seal it
If it is concealed/out of plain sight, then it does NOT need to be in a holster.
What holster are you using in this video?
In this video, I am using a Storm Holster. They are out of McAllen,TX. You can find them online, IG, or FB.
Great content
Thank you man.
Does anything change with this when the vehicle is a motorcycle?
No sir. Just if under 21 you cant leave the immediate area of your bike in a public place if you do not have a license to carry. Or if you have certain convictions.
What about a ar pistol can I carry that in my car under 21 above 18
Yes you can. Must be out of plain sight just like if you were carrying any other pistol. Unless you had a license to carry.
So I’m 20 and getting my first pistol on Friday. If I have it in my glovebox or center console does it need to be holstered?
No sir. It will be out of plain sight.
@@PrimalDefenseCo oh ok I just wanna make sure. I don’t want to break any laws not meaning to. So just to clarify. It’s all good as long as it’s out of sight. It can be in the side of my door pocket not holstered with one in the head aswell right?
@@akasqizzed8663 yes, but, an inexperienced or anti gun cop can always give you grief in the door pocket. But as long as it is out of plain sight, you are good. Texas Penal Code 46.02
@@PrimalDefenseCo alright. Thank you so much for the clarification. Can never know too much when it comes to gun laws. It’s too easy to think your doing everything legal and end up with a felony lmao
@@PrimalDefenseCosince you have known everything I ask. If I bring my pistol to the range. Am I able to buy 9mm for it at 20 years old.
Good to know! Thanks man!
Welcome man. Appreciate you watching!
My holster is nose down wedged in the crack between the passenger seat and console most of the time. If there is a passenger in the vehicle it's on the drivers side.
I do that too sometimes. Depends on what I'm wearing and what I'm carrying.
So you need to have it in holster if its out of plain sight?
Nope. Only if it is in plain sight.
@@PrimalDefenseCo thanks man

Can I carry a fire arm with out an LTC if I have a class A misdemeanor for family violence? Or am I prohibited
If it is a class A family violence CONVICTION you are prohibited from carrying in your vehicle or in public forever.
If it is a class A assault conviction you are prohibited from carrying in public for 5 years from date.
With a class A family violence conviction, you will not qualify for an LTC.
So you can open carry loaded without a permit right with a holster as long as you have a clean record ?
Are you 21 or over?
Yes I’m 22 yrs old no criminal record
@@yoboycat956 you can carry open or concealed. No license required.
But if you are carrying open, it needs to be in a holster.

Thanks just subscribed wanted to ask also can you open carry with a Extendo clip in a holster ?
Is a magnet under the dash considered a holster?
@@bvierville1 there isn't a legal definition for holster in the lawbook. But there is a common definition. In my opinion, a magnet does meet the definition.
I personally would not care. But depending on the jurisdiction you are in, the political climate, the officers bias, you may or may not run into a problem.
to confirm... In the state of TX you can carry a concealed holstered hand gun in the vehicle WITHOUT a permit.
Correct. You can even carry open.
If you are under 21, it must stay concealed in your car, or they need a license to carry.

Quick question, what about carrying it openly propped up inside your center cup holder? In a holster of course & of course in the Great State of Texas
@@cupofdirty832 that's good 👍

@@PrimalDefenseCo thanks man! God bless
@@cupofdirty832 welcome bro 🙏
So it must be in a holster at all times in vechicle???!
Only if the gun is in plain view.
So if I don’t have a license to carry but im under 21 i can keep it in my car just as long as its hidden?
Correct. Out of plain sight. As long as it cannot be seen.
The law might change though.
