You may carry a concealed hand gun in plain clothes if you have a CHL(Concealed Hand Gun License) It is unlawful to carry a hand gun concealed or open while carrying out bounty hunter duties unless you have a CHL, in plain clothes, and the reason of carrying is not directly related to bounty hunting. Example would be, a bounty hunter with a CHL carrying a concealed hand gun in plain clothes for SELF protection and not to assist him in fugitive recovery.

What stats can bounty hunters carry guns?
Assuming that by "bounty hunter" you mean a Bail Bondsman- they are subject to the same firearm laws as a private citizen. If a private citizen can get a license to carry a firearm, then a bail bondsman can. If they can't, then the bondsman can't. PS- the reason that a bondsman can arrest a person- when they post bail, guaranteeing your appearance in court, you are released in their custody. They have a right to revoke that custody, and return you to jail. They are not law enforcement officers.

Would a bounty hunter be considered a peace officer since they are and can be armed. They arrest fugitives and are under the supreme court laws?
Unless a bounty hunter was already a peace officer, he does not become one by virtue of being a bounty hunter. A bounty hunter is a private citizen. He may carry a firearm only in the manner allowed a private citizen. Programs such as "Dog the Bounty Hunter" have glorified these people and encouraged false assumptions about their authority, training and conduct. Bounty hunters are largely untrained, unlicensed and unregulated. They frequently find themselves at odds with local law enforcement officers when they use force to apprehend fugitives and don't have the necessary paperwork. The tactical vests, "Bail Recovery Agent" badges and other gear popular with these folks can be had from any number of catalog and online merchants. One should question any credential available to anyone with an address and a credit card. I don't know of a law enforcement agency that would allow one of their peace officer employees to work as a bounty hunter. Law enforcement officers routinely apprehend fugitives, but as a part of their regular duties and not for any "bounty" or other special reward. Law enforcement officers are generally ineligible for rewards posted for the apprehension of wanted persons.

Here is a small clip-it someone else wrote....... Age Requirements to be a Bounty Hunter From Derek Dallas, Texas Are there any age requirements to become a bounty hunter? ******************************************************************************* Derek, In TX, you must be at least 18 years old because that is the minimum age at which you can obtain a private investigator's license. Each state regulates bounty hunting differently- in states where a license is not required the bottom-line requirement will be 18 years of age because you must be of legal age to be assigned as an agent of the bail bondsman or surety upon the bail. This is very similar to a "Power of Attorney" and is only assignable to a person of "suitable age," which might as well read "adult." In some states that require licensing, the minimum age requirement is 21. It is also important to note that if you plan to carry a firearm while working, states will require that you are at least 21 years of age to obtain a concealed carry permit. Regardless of what you have been told or led to believe, you must follow all firearms laws of the states in which you are working! Just because we have an authorization to arrest a defendant given to us by a bail bondsman, we are not automatically entitled to posses a gun, either open-carry or concealed-carry. We are no different in this respect than any other private citizen unless our state issued license says otherwise! (Some states authorize a private investigator or bail agent licensee to carry a concealed firearm.) Lastly, if you are licensed and allowed to carry a concealed firearm in your state, then "concealed" means just that.. keep your weapon CONCEALED! It is typically only legal to brandish a firearm when your life or that of another is in imminent danger- making an apprehension doesn't qualify unless you can prove that you were in immediate danger. None of this is to be construed as legal advice! You are responsible for understanding and abiding by any laws that may apply to you in your situation! *******************************************************************************
