I know that gun laws are always changing and that in some states the lwas are really very restrictive. I live in Texas and I can carry a gun in my car without a chl just like has been stated before. since I also ahve a chl I can carry it on my person many places. My son now lives in Arizona and they have open carry, not in Texas yet, as well as concealed carry. I don't think it really is anyone elses business if I wish to go armed but then there are a lot of screwy laws because some one else wants to regulate my life. Like everyone else I live with it and fight back when ever I can with a word or a vote. The fact is the bad guys do not give a hoot for the laws to begin with so they only affect those who live by them and those who think it is their business to write them. VOTE and let them know you are for YOUR rights.
