he UCW law predates cars so there's probably long standing case law for someone traveling by foot or horseback.

Perhaps a person traveling by auto, more the case today, could conceivably carry his weapon outside his or her vehicle in the course of traveling, without a CHL. Such as making a travel-related purchase inside a gas station, dining inside a restaurant, checking into a motel. Certainly a traveler on foot would not be expected to leaves his weapon concealed off his person during those times.That would cover a lot of bases without the hassle of a permit.

Consider what the court would do with an indigent individual apprehended while unquestionably traveling, say, from Baytown to Katy on foot with his gun concealed on his person. He can't afford a car, a bicycle or even a bus ticket. He is too afraid to hitch hike because of all the weirdos out there. Is he to be discriminated against based on his mode of transportm or lack thereof, while traveling?
