Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main federal laws restricting firearm carry?

The primary federal law discussed is the Gun-Free Zone Act of 1990, which prohibits firearms within 1000 feet of a school. Ignorance of this or any other law is not a legal defense for carrying in prohibited areas.

Are there specific rules for carrying firearms on airplanes?

Yes, firearms must be unloaded, placed in a locked, hard-sided case, and declared in checked baggage. Carrying in carry-on bags can result in fines up to $14,000 and loss of TSA Pre-Check for five years.

What is the 'Texas 51% rule' regarding firearm carry?

The Texas 51% rule prohibits carrying firearms in establishments where 51% or more of their revenue is derived from the sale of alcoholic beverages. Similar laws exist in other states, often tied to alcohol consumption.

Can I carry a gun in my home or a church?

Carrying in private residences requires express permission from the homeowner. Similarly, carrying inside a church requires explicit permission from the pastor or church leadership.
