Pistol in vehicle in Texas

[eaglegolfj]

Where did this come from?

From what I understand, it is legal in Texas to carry a loaded handgun in your vehicle without a CHL, just can't be in plain view.

correct.

Nobody is going to address the border crossing??

Borders separate countries, state lines separate states

it is legal to transport an unloaded weapon in a motor vehicle at any time. they have some weird carry laws on size of caliber you can carry as well

Individuals with hunting licenses may open carry loaded long arms and handguns when hunting during hunting season. Outside of this and a few other limited exceptions, Open Carry of handguns in a public setting requires a valid carry permit. Carry of unloaded, cased firearms without a permit is allowed while on foot, just as it is allowed while traveling in a vehicle.[citation needed] Firearms that are not handguns, (long arms) carried by pedestrians generally must be both completely unloaded and cased.

However, any person eligible to legally possess firearms may openly carry unloaded firearms that are not cased specifically "When going to or from the person's private residence or vehicle or a vehicle in which the person is riding as a passenger to a place designated or authorized for firearms repairs or reconditioning, or for firearms trade, sale, or barter, or gunsmith, or hunting animals or fowl, or hunter safety course, or target shooting, or skeet or trap shooting or any recognized firearms activity or event and while in such places". Only under these circumstances may individuals carry unloaded firearms publicly that are not cased.

Generally, when carrying firearms in a motor vehicle, (when traveling on public land or roads) they must be out of reach of the driver, unloaded, and cased. Persons possessing a handgun carry license may carry a loaded handgun inside their vehicle on their person, just as they are permitted to do so on foot. Persons possessing a handgun carry license may transport a loaded handgun in a motor vehicle under their control, and store a loaded handgun in a locked, secure motor vehicle. They may also transport loaded magazines for both handguns and long guns, however, they cannot legally transport loaded long guns. Firearms being improperly transported in any way may be immediately confiscated by police without compensation.

What state are you talking about, those are the most inaccurate statements about Texas that I have ever heard

Hmm, isn’t the old saying “Texas, it’s like a whole ‘nother country”?

lol true

I don't know what's legal in OK so that's hard to answer. Can you legally have a loaded handgun in your truck in OK?? If so then just drive across the line and if not then once you are in Texas, lock n load n conceal...

[asttbe]

Clips must be in the cab. In your hair, and seatbelt worn

He's a TBH'er. Crossing the border is permitted.

[okietaxi]

Correct about the border/state line thing, but then again Texas isnits own country. Clip was in bed. Now lock and loaded and concealed

Depends on whether or not you have an OU sticker on your truck.
