I suppose if this was Texas Car carry without a CHL.com the idea of unlocked, lock box carry in a car would be a great pointapostate wrote:Nobody said the box has to be locked at all times.E.Marquez wrote:Not sure what use a gun in a lock box is either as a defensive weapon?
Once upon a time, there was no Texas CHL. In those dark times, it is rumored, some people carried a pistol in an unlocked briefcase. It was reasonably accessible in many situations. Like purse carry today, it had some challenges. However, 20 years ago there was no way to get a CHL, so on-body carry carried its own set of risks if an average citizen was not hunting, et cetera. Indeed, the primary advantage of that hypothetical carry method was the ability to quickly spin the combo-wheels, converting the briefcase into a locked container.
Or so the story goes.
But I though we were discussing carry under the authority of Texas CHL, and what happens when you get pulled over by that 1 in 1,10000 TX LEOS, who believes in disarming to check a guns serial number (is the number even that common?)
All in good fun of course.
I guess if someone wants to car carry that might work, but I prefer to have my gun secured so no matter what events might take place.. I know the gun is in the exact position/location i put it in before the wreck, evasive maneuver, assault.. car jacking.
