Yes I can. I will continue to carry my firearm in my vehicle because the law says I can. And if I ever get arrested over it, I will fight it tooth and nail.

But the real question is, would you support my struggle, or let the government continue to walk all over you?

I think its unfortunate that many are afraid to take a lawful stand on this issue becasue you fear court costs. If beuacracy will always be your reason for not standing for what is right, then all a government has to do is put more red tape in your way to keep you down.

I have and will always live by the saying: "Stand for what is right, even if your're standing alone."

EDIT: I understand how the above comment could seem harsh or brazen but its not meant to be an attack on anyone.

Do you have the $20 or $30,000 it will take to fight the legal battle?

But according to the law, its not. I am glad to know that others interpret the law the way I do (and the way it should be).

Pay attention to what txinvestigator said about how some DAs will still prosecute. Think twice before you plan on carrying a weapon in your car without a CHL. It has been said that some LEOs will still arrest you, book you, and let the jury decide. Is it worth the trouble and the time you have to spend clearing yourself? Is it worth having an arrest record? My answer is No. And that's my main motivation to get a CHL. It's cheaper and easier.
