Whelp - I suppose now that I'm here milling around again - I'll provide an update on my situation....I did wind up carrying my weapon to the Gurney Unit in Palestine... upon pulling up to the guard shack - I showed the guard my CHL, my FFL, and my DL, then told him I had a secured handgun locked in ...

Thanks LT....I have two different means of securing the weapon.. and I'm thinking of drilling some holes in the floor of my truck, and bolting one of the lock boxes behind the console in my truck. Question for you - do they usually ask to see the weapon, or do they ask to see the locked box?

I ask the head guy at the jail - not sure what his rank was - he had a few striped on his arm... anyway, I ask specifically if it was OK ...

I believe I have my answer now...thanks to all the 'polite' responses - the parking lot is not considered part of the 'premise'.... and to answer your question - for me personally, I have a kevlar bag made by Beretta that is designed specifically for securing a weapon in a vehicle... the bag is ...

From what I got out of that - a "parking lot" is an exception, and not considered part of the 'premise'.... that sound right to you?

Several times a week I am visiting a family member who is currently in jail. I realize carrying a firearm inside the jailhouse is not the smartest thing in the world to be doing, and I'd certainly never entertain that idiotic thought.... however, I'm curious to know if locking the firearm inside my ...

First post here, so go easy on me... I'm reasonably sure any question I have will already have been discussed, so bare with me... I have two questions along the same lines:

I am legally able to carry a firearm, and do... IF my son is convicted of a felony (non-violent crime) - I'm curious to know ...
