Hey, New to Texas. I have only been here about 2 months now, and despite my best efforts I have been unable to find out what the deal is with transporting my firearms to the local range. My question(s) are as follows:
1. whats the best way to transport a firearm to a range without having a leo down my throat if pulled over?
2. does the ammunition have to be separate from the firearm, (note: I never put a loaded gun in a car, ever.)
3. Does anyone know what the laws on open carry are in Texas? I dont have a ccw yet, looking into that, i need a smaller gun
Right now, i head out to the range about once a week, and i put my shotgun or pistol in its box, unloaded, on the benchseat of my truck, and the ammunition in the back of the truck. My rational is, when the cop shows up, the weapon is unloaded and in plain sight, I ain't going to hide my firearms that seems like suspicious behavior.
