Allows licensed handgun carriers to possess or carry a handgun in certain locations selling or serving alcoholic beverages if they are not intoxicated, so more ability to carry firearms in those places.
It is a defense to prosecution under Subsection (a)(7) that the actor: (1) possesses or carries a handgun that the actor is licensed to carry under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, and not any other weapon to which this section applies; and (2) is not intoxicated while possessing or carrying the handgun in the location described by Subsection (a)(7).
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a defense to prosecution for licensed handgun carriers possessing or carrying in certain alcohol-serving locations if not intoxicated, and reduces the offense level to a Class A misdemeanor only when intoxicated. This expands the ability to carry firearms in such locations compared to prior law. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
