I’m on foot, so it is on my person. I’ve heard yes and no and something about if it’s designed for the sport. I go alone at night from time to time. I never used to carry when doing so, but I have been for a while now. I know it’s cool in the vehicle or boat, but what about on the banks. I’m sure someone here knows, so, what’s the actual law here in Texas? And/or what pistol is designed for fishing if there is such a thing???
