And if you can't maintain possession of your concealed firearm, maybe you shouldn't be carrying at all. Hmmm...

This is straight up illegal: TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 44 > § 930
I'm glad the guard handled it in the way he did though. That's how things like this should be handled.

That's interesting, but it doesn't matter what Texas code reads. This is a federal crime: 49 CFR 1540.111(a) While there may be a viable and legal defense for such act in Texas state court, there is no such defense in federal court. Two completely different courts.
