Carrying a gun in Kerr County
Since September 1, 2021, Texans 21 and older who are not prohibited from possessing a firearm may carry a handgun, concealed or openly in a holster, without a license. The Texas License to Carry, issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety, is still available and is honored in more states. Businesses can ban carry with the signs set by Penal Code 30.06 and 30.07, and some places are off limits by law. Check with the Kerr County Sheriff or DPS if you are unsure.
