Is it with in the law to carry a hand gun on a Texas lake, with or with out a C. H. Lic? A employee of mine got a ticket while fishing ( too close to the dam ) , and showed his CHL with his drivers and fishing Lic. when asked by a Game Warden at Lake Lavon. The game Warden took his gun, took him and his boat off the lake , and after they were off lake property he gave him his gun and a ticket back.
I told him I would ask.
I have no personal knowledge on this matter, BUT the National Rifle Association/Institute for Legislative Action keeps a listing of all states' gun laws, and you can access them online! However, it is possible that the offenseis a violation of a Parks & Wildlife fish & game regulation, rather than of a state law. In which case, you would have to check out hunting & fishing regulations rather than gun laws.
The appearance ticket he was issued would have to state what the law/regulation was that was allegedly violated, I think. He may be well advisedto consult an attorney before going to court.
