Today, September 1, 2005, marks the official enaction of Texas HB 823 that allows law abiding citizens to carry a loaded handgun concealed in their vehicle without fear of prosecution. Previously, Texas citizens were under a very poorly defined and subjective "traveling" law.
So, this morning, I took my XD-9 for a little drive just because I could. I never carried one loaded in my car because I was afraid I wouldn't fit the subjective traveling criteria.
I hope to never use it, but am glad to have the right to carry it in my vehicle if I feel I need to for defensive purposes.
My thanks to the Texas legislators who pushed for a clear definition of the traveling law.
