I am moving from Arizona to Texas in a rental truck. Where is it legal to stow my handgun?|||Unloaded, in a box, in the back. If you have a trigger lock you can put that on too.|||In your cars glove box. Essentially, the law states that it is a crime to carry a handgun "on or about your person." This law began in the 1870's as a Jim Crow statute intended only to be applied to black people. Over the intervening century, it has been interpreted, in my opinion, too broadly by the courts to include the passenger compartment of a car. Generally, your trunk is a safe place to carry, although I have seen one case here in Austin when the local cops ran a guy in for a gun in his trunk. Not because it was a good case, but merely because they wanted to harass him. Always remember the old saying, "you may beat the rap, but you won't beat the ride." But the law goes further and makes an exception for persons who are "traveling." Traveling, as it has been interpreted by the courts means, basically, going away from one's domicile, or residence, for an extended trip of some kind. There are no exact definitions or parameters. This is what is wrong with the law; it is too vague and subject to abuse by police and prosecutors. Even if one is truly traveling, you can still go to jail. Say for example, you have a car loaded up with all your belongings and are driving from Austin to Dallas on I35. A cop pulls you over in Temple and he either searches and finds the gun, or you tell him you have one, (which you don't have to do; nor do you have to consent to a search). But for whatever reason, he finds out you have a gun. How does he know you are truly "traveling?" Often times, he will be an *** and say, "It's not for me to decide. Tell your story to the judge." And he runs you in anyway; knowing full well that you will have to spend a couple of grand to get out of the mess, because you were, in fact, traveling. It's not a good situation for gun owners; we are always facing legal risks when we have guns in our possessio|||anywhere that isn't part of the passenger compartment, or a locked case anywhere.|||In a lock box with teh clip out in the cab or inthe back of hte truck anywhere.|||try the trunk?|||A handgun? You people out west are true cowboys. Never ceases to amaze me. Wrap it in a blanket and hide it in the furniture?|||You need to call the police in NM and Texas; but, if you have a concealed hand gun permit, valid and up to date in AZ I believe NM and TX will honor it. Welcome to Texas, boy. Only one gun, they may turn you back at the State line.|||Honestly, I would call the police and ask the how to safely move a handgun, and check if the laws are different in Texas.
