Texas is a bit different.
Texas regulates the wearing of arms but defines arms as
handguns only.
Texas statutes prohibit Cities and Counties from regulating
firearms and possesion of them as
it pertains to CHL's. State, City, and County Parks are ok
for CHL's to carry in.
Most of our searches are rual and urban

enforcement officer carrying a weapon, even with a permit, is often prohibited
in public spaces. In Pennsylvania, which is a shall issue state for
handguns, your permit is NOT effective in public parks (state, county, city);
within 1000 feet of a school or colleges, hospitals, etc; state forests, all
public buildings, and even in state game lands or hunting areas, except for
persons with a hunting license and carrying the proper long gun in a hunting
area in season (shotgun or rifle). Handguns are concealed carry only
where permitted except for uniformed officers. The recent change to allow
permitted persons to carry in a national park only covers Valley Forge and some
parts of There is a great deal
of difference between the west and the more urban east in this area. If
you are carrying a saddle gun it should be secured with a flap or strap since
many jurisdictions prohibit hunting from horseback. As a unit we
don’t carry in the field. Two members are commissioned officers and while our
policy allows them to carry in accordance with their departments’ policy on off
duty weapons and the law allows them to carry anywhere now, they usually leave
their weapon locked in their truck or the gun locker at ranger HQ.
We have found that
being alert, being ready to escape and evade, and using the horse as your best
defense works well. If you do carry become very familiar with your state’s
self defense rules for civilians, which are different than for law
enforcement. And never carry where you cannot get to the weapon or
somebody else can get there first. Irv

[mailto:msar-riders-bounces@lists.ibiblio.org] On Behalf Of Thor Burfine One thing to consider
in all of this. Some of us carry a
rifle in a scabbard when afield. now you must defend
yourself, your mount and your rifle You must not let the
bad guy get a hold of it Most people that ride
with a scabbard have it on the off side, not a natural position to
defend |
