Both of my wifes parents carry without 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?

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

you have two wives

I didn't carry before my CHL, but I'm a very law-abiding type citizen. I don't want to be the test case.

But I took my grandson to Moody Gardens in Galveston today. Before we went I had to do the obligitory search for any prohibitions against CC...

... and I'm tired of it.

The right to bear arms "shall not be abridged" should mean exactly that. We need to get to a point in this country where a law abiding citizen can carry anywhere and at any time.

OK, I'm off my soapbox now..

Shall not be infringed.

The RKBA shall not be infringed.

The OED shall not be abridged.

The law with the exception for traveling is still the same and covers all means of traveling. The MPA just made sure one specific type was included since most juries would not consider driving to and from work to be traveling. The hobo walking between two cities is clearly covered by the traveling exception.

That's why punctuation is critical:

"My wives..." indicates more than one wife.
"My wives' parents..." indicates the parents of all of your multiple wives
"My wife's parents..." indicates the parents of your wife.

In either of the first two instances, you're probably in trouble, and permutations of item #2 are mind-boggling:

- You're married to two or more sisters, meaning you only have one set of in-laws.
- You married a daughter and a mother, in which case there would be two sets of in-laws from the same family.
- You married your own sisters, in which case your in-laws are also your parents (probably happens a lot in the deep south)
- You married two brothers, at which point your own parents might disown you (if you're also a guy).
- You married two completely unrelated women, but that are from terrorist countries, which will make it harder to get your CHL.

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.

I started carrying before I got my CHL. After taking a few handgun classes my eyes were opened.

Didn't cause any problems.

Applied for my CHL as soon as I turned 21 and been happy ever since.

What about spelling? He spelled it with "f" so I thought singular because the plural spelling has a "v" instead.

Like in Genesis 29?

Oh you all are just plain silly. Glock fan only left off the apostrophe, and you make an issue out of it. He got his point across to me, and I didn't see any humor in it until our forum jester pointed it out. Not saying any names now USA1, so rest easy.
