This thread is about travel within TX. Out here in far West Texas he may need to travel more than 100 miles to reach a project. He would like to travel those distances with a firearm encase of a break down. We both were a bit confused due to the amount of parties involved , lack of " parking lot" and how the statute would apply. My take..... carry, conceal and shut up...... But it is not my job that might be on the line. I thought this would be the place to ask for clarification.

My " friend" does not have a LTC.

Then show him how to download it. Then he just might get an LTC. If not, your "friend" would have a better understanding of the laws concerning carry. Sounds as if they might be interested, plant the seed and reap the harvest.

Actually he had a Texas CHL. The CHL was allowed to expire while he was in Calfornia taking care of family. Since he has to travel such long distances for work, I thought the MVP might cover him. However , I wanted to get the opinions of the forum members.

Keeping the weapon concealed should satisfy any company rules. Although it would be legal to carry with an LTC outside your vehicle. You could still be subject to discipline if you remove the firearm from the vehicle

I believe a land owner has the right to prohibit firearms on their property regardless of easements.

Not too interested in personal beliefs right now. I'm asking if existing Texas law allows him to keep a concealed pistol locked in his car even after both the land owner and his company have expressed in writing that they do not allow fire arms. His vehicle is his private vehicle and the land is not posted.

I realize the weapon needs to be kept concealed and in his locked car. However, the official "employee " park lot may be 1 to 100 miles from the project site.

My friend works for a Company which provides inspection services for a Utiity Co. The utilities are run on a third parties land. Both the 3 Ed party and the company my friend works for prohibit the carrying of a weapon. My friend drives his private vehicle and parks in the area of a particular project along with everyone else working on the projct. I think he should be legal to carry uner while complying with the Texas Motor Vehicle Protection Act. Yea or Nay?
