Houston, Texas — The October issue of Texas Fish & Game magazine (TF&G) features a story of significant interest to Texas gun owners.
An editorial published in the magazine’s June 2007 issue addressed a joint investigation by the strange bedfellows of the Texas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, Texas Criminal Justice Coalition, and Texas State Rifle Association into the practices of some state prosecutors regarding a 2005 amendment to the law on carrying a handgun while “traveling” in a vehicle. Prior to this amendment, “traveling” was not defined and sundry courts had issued at-odds rulings as to what constituted “traveling.” According to the author of the amendment, its purpose was to clarify that ambiguity and allow lawful citizens to carry a handgun in their vehicles for self-defense.
