I live in Texas and last september legislation was passed that made it legal to carry a firearm in your auto (conceled) without a carry permit with some obvious exemptions. Those being that you are law abiding, not intoxicated, etc. Doing some research online, I was reading that if being pulled over for a routine traffic violation and a LEO discovers that you do have a firearm witout a carry permit they will still take you in. Does anybody have anything that would help me understand the law better? I do not yet have my CCL but will be driving Austin/Dallas quite often and would feel more comfortable carrying especially since Ill be doing most of the commuting at night. Any LEO's (or anybody) with input on the matter?
