Is it legal to carry a shotgun in a car in TX?

[Rigo_08]

There has been alot of trouble in my hood and we had our home broken into 2x in the last year (nothing stolen successfully thank god) as well as a couple of people in cars following some of my friends home all in 2010.. my question to u :

is it legal to carry a shotgun in my car? (in TX) or what permits do you need or how can i carry something around for personal protection?

im 20 yrs old and just dont feel safe anymore without some sort of edge while ridin around this part of houston. i know enough about beating someone's a** in a brawl but fists are no match against a gun..1st thing to do when i turn 21 is get my CHL because carrying around a big wrench in my ride isnt gonna prove enough for somebody tryin to rob my car..

thanks for your time =)

Google Texas Legislature, then click statutes and follow the links all the way to section 46 of the penal code. It is not generally unlawful to carry a shotgun, rifle or handgun in your vehicle. In your vehicle you must keep a handgun concealed, not be a member of a criminal street gang, not be committing a crime, and not be prohibited by law from possessing a firearm.

Just out of interest, why a shot gun? Big bulky, unless experienced, hard to be tactial with.

Sounds you are looking for a spray and pray option which concerns me as to your motive for having it in the first place. Having used a 12 gauge rurally, if you are taking a shotty to a brawl, you are going to hit more than your target which will be a flurry of people not stationary and not overly happy at seeing 2 pipes pointed at them.

Just food for thought.

I'm betting reading comprehension is an issue with you... unless you fall within those parameters.

Maybe you need smaller words?
