The NFL is looking into whether Aqib Talib violated Texas gun laws when he accidentally shot himself early Sunday.

Police are investigating the incident. Under a state law that took effect Jan. 1, a person must have a license to carry a gun.

Carrying a weapon in public without a license into a place that sells alcohol is considered a Class 3 felony. It is a Class A misdemeanor to possess a weapon while intoxicated in Texas (there is no official indication he was intoxicated on the night of the incident), and punishment carries a year in jail. It is a Class B misdemeanor to discharge a weapon in public, and punishment carries up to six months in jail.

If Talib had a license, he could be charged with two of these crimes; if he didn't, it's possible he could be charged with all three.
