[QUOTE="Trancer, post: 7407158, member: 544448"] That is why I am glad to live in the great old state of Texas. They passed a law about a year and a half ago stating you could carry a loaded hand gun in your vehicle to and from work/home WITHOUT a CHL. There are several loopholes in this law. Main one being how would they prove that you weren't going home if you were going to a friends house etc.... They made the law like such for such flexibility. So I carry a .40 Glock in the center console of my truck. Now remember also, that if you have a CHL or if you live in Texas with this law, if you are impaired, drug or alcohol, and you have the gun with you, automatic felony. I think some people fail to forget that in Texas. I feel keeping a hand gun in the truck and a 12 gauge shotgun in the house is needed, unless you live in a rural area, like my old town in Oklahoma of 1200 people where everyone knew everyone. But having a shotgun in your vehicle isn't very handy when in most instances when you need it, someone runs up to your window to jack you. Can't grab your shotgun out of truck very well and very quickly. Much easier to c[I]o[/I]ck a hangun back alot easier too than a shotgun when sitting in a car/pickup [/QUOTE]
