Gun Carrying
Conditions of Carry for Firearms
Firearm safety is the number one thing to consider when purchasing a personal firearm. A complete understanding of the four basic Conditions of Carry will help compliment common sense and attention to detail. These conditions can be applied to all firearms and vary based on the type of firearm you are dealing with. I will stay on the topic of handguns.
Condition One: Ready for Action
In this condition, the handgun has a round in the chamber and a loaded magazine in the magazine well. This condition is the condition just prior to firing. The thumb safety (if applicable) is engaged. In order to bring the pistol into action, the operator only needs to put it on target, and complete whatever steps are necessary to fire.
Condition Two: Ready for Danger
In this condition, there is a round in the chamber and a full magazine in the magazine well, like condition one, but the safety is off and the hammer is down. Handguns without external hammers, such as the XD and Glock, cannot be carried in condition two.
This condition is not recommended because the gun must be cocked before it is ready to fire, making it slower than condition one. In addition, if the gun is dropped on the hammer, or the hammer slips, there is a possibility of the gun discharging.
Condition Three: Somewhat Safe?
In condition three, the chamber is empty and a fully loaded magazine is in the magazine well. This is the carry method for many military organizations in the world. In order to fire, the slide needs to be reciprocated to chamber a round.
Many people feel that this method of storage is safe for children, but I do not recommend it as the only safety measure. This is an excellent condition for a backup weapon in a locked safe.
Condition Four: Safety First
In condition four, the handgun is completely unloaded. The magazine is removed from the gun. The slide can be locked back for completeness, but I recommend letting the slide forward and the hammer down for long term storage.
No matter what condition you prefer, a gun safe is essential to firearm safety, especially if there are children around. I personally carry in condition one and think it is foolish to carry in any other condition. When I am not carrying, I leave my guns in condition one, but they are locked in a safe and inaccessible to others. In the end, it is your responsibility to determine the safest manner to handle and store your firearms.

What's the punishment for carrying a gun?
My boyfriend was caught carrying a gun and is in jail. He was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon because he doesn't have a license or anything. We live in Texas, what kind of trouble could he be facing? His court date is not til Monday but I am anxious to know.
Depends on a circumstances. Normally carrying concealed without a permit is a misdemeanor and while it can carry some jail time it more often just involves a fine. However if your boyfriend was brandishing the gun, or threatening someone with it, or if he is a convicted felon the charges will be a lot more serious.
If he got caught, he not concealing it well, or he was doing something stupid with it. Without knowing the whole story there is no way of knowing exactly what he's charged with and the kind of trouble he could be facing.
Getting a permit in Texas is not that hard. Why on earth would a law abiding citizen not simply go and get a permit if he wants to carry? You might look for a new boyfriend. Just a thought.......
