Expands the prohibition on carrying a firearm for members of criminal street gangs who are engaged in certain offenses, by removing the prior limitation to handguns in a motor vehicle or watercraft and applying it to any firearm carried on or about the person.
A person who is a member of a criminal street gang, as defined by Section 71.01, commits an offense if the person: (1) intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a firearm; and (2) is engaged in conduct constituting an offense that is a Class B misdemeanor or any higher category of offense:

Increases the criminal penalty for the offense of carrying by a gang member from a Class A misdemeanor to a third-degree felony.
An offense under Subsection (a) or (a-1) is a felony of the third degree. An offense under Subsection (b) or (c) is a Class A misdemeanor.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Code 46.04 to prohibit criminal street gang members from carrying any firearm (not just a handgun in a vehicle) while engaged in specified offenses, and raises the penalty to a third-degree felony; both changes add restrictions on firearm carry for this group.
