This is just more of a rant thread.
I recently took a vaction down to Texas, driving from Missouri. In Missouri, you don't need a conceal & carry permit to have a loaded handgun in your car; you can keep it in your glove compartment. The same is with Texas. However, going through Oklahoma, you have to have it unloaded and in the trunk (I made sure to call both state's Highway Patrol before taking my trip).
So that's my rant.....having to unload the gun, put it in it's case, and put it in the trunk before crossing over Oklahoma's state line. We really really really need some uniform national gun laws; because that's just complete crap. "Excuse me mister Oklahoma bad guy, before you try to rob and kill me while I wait for AAA to come help me with my broken down vehicle on the interstate, could you wait while I go to the trunk and load my Glock 17?"
