Survival is step one. We’re step two.
Armed Attorneys Emily Taylor and Richard Hayes break down what happened when Texas Rep. Richard Peña Raymond displayed a handgun during a public meeting—and why an apparently harmless demonstration can raise complicated questions under Texas gun law.
Emily and Richard examine Texas Penal Code § 46.02(a-5), which addresses intentionally displaying a handgun in plain view in a public place and contains an exception when the handgun is carried in a holster.
They also discuss how a Texas License to Carry affects carrying at an open meeting, the difference between displaying a firearm and disorderly conduct, and why intent to threaten or alarm can matter.
The episode also looks at Raymond’s firearm-related voting record, situations involving gun shows and other lawful gun owners, and why Texas firearm-display laws may create unexpected legal pitfalls.
Plus, Emily and Richard discuss what they believe lawmakers should address during the 2027 Texas legislative session.
