Don't forget the public intox added to the end of the list. Those are impressive on a person's results from a pre-employment background check.

Unlawful Carrying of Handgun by License Holder. Class A misdemeanor. Yes,happens a fair bit. You usually have other charges as well, DWI or assaults for example. |

Unlawful Carrying of Handgun by License Holder. Class A misdemeanor. This is the answer. Penal Code 46.035. Someone mentioned public intox. PI requires that a person be intoxicated [i][to the degree/i] he may endanger himself or others. 46.035 does not have the requirement that the person may endanger himself or others. |

Former co-worker/ex Dallas cop said PI was the easiest arrest that would result in conviction. I have seen it more than once, more than a few times. Make a scene while drinking, you can go to jail. Of course the OP does not give a play by play of the situation. |

To obtain a conviction it must be proven, beyond any reasonable doubt, that the person was a danger to himself or others. Just being drunk doesn't get it. Carrying a handgun while intoxicated is easier to prove |

One would think " intoxicated" without a definable limit would only add to the confusion and more power to the arresting officer. Does he define " intoxicated" at that point? Under current law, one drink in the officers opinion might prove intoxicated if he chooses to arrest.

Thank you for the correction. I was under the impression from my last chl class that it was more or less up to the officer (chl+consumption=intoxicated) if you were charged. |

Back in the days of apartment life, the weekend festivities at the pools could get out of hand at any time. Cops show up, people went to jail. I knew when not to run my mouth at a cop, even while possibly intoxicated at the time. Some did not have that skill. These were the days when you could have "adult only" complexes. Those same complexes were told told that they could no longer claim "no children under 18" a long time ago. They are all section 8 now of course. |

Unless they have changed the law, you don't have to be shown to be intoxicated only impaired to get hammered.

Carrying a handgun while intoxicated is easier to prove As is the case with every charge. The officer only needs probable cause to make an lawful arrest. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt can only be determined later by a jury (or judge in a judge trial) and juries do crazy things. I've seen them find people not guilty for a variety of things when the state clearly proved the case beyond a reasonable doubt, but the jurors found them not guilty because the defendant was "a nice guy." Officers are swayed by attitudes just like jurors can be. In fact, a person's attitude factors into the danger element of PI. txinvestigator is right in that the weapons charge is the easier case to make and carries a much higher penalty. |

Conviction on that could be done by a first year law student. Anyone with brain would begging for a plea deal. |

This was not me, lol. I see where one could interpret that, my bad.
I was at a restaurant and saw this entire indecent, I saw this person sitting at the patio portion of the restaurant and his horse was tied up at the fence enclosing the patio. I walked up to the guy and told him I've never seen someone ride a horse to a restaurant, being a city boy and all, lol. I saw he had a beer on his table. When he was in the building, then I noticed he was openly carrying while holding a beer in his hand. I believe if this person didn't have a CHL it would be a felony (blue sign). Wasn't sure what the charge would be with a CHL. thx all |

Would carrying and having a beer in his hand (and him drinking it, of course) while carrying automatically bring a charge? I don't know many people that would be intoxicated (by my non-legal understanding of the word) from one beer, and certainly not from one light beer (half the alcohol). |
