Quick question about long guns in vehicles

[Renegade]

not accurate according to an attorney I've spoken to."property" & " premises" are two different things. In the parking lot is okay

Get a better attorney or for more fun go OC a longgun on a military installation, Federal Building, a school zone, and report back.

And FWIW (in my experience), it doesn't work well with a concealed handgun either

True, but the OP asked about long guns.

All times I have brought guns onto .mil bases, it was with permission ahead of time.

Texas law has changed a lot recently. Used to be any gun in the auto was a no-no. Carrying from car to range could get you prosecuted. Used to need ammo & gun separate, out of reach of passengers in 'locked' situation.

No.

Longguns have generally been unregulated for forever.

This ^. + Motorist Protection Act extending castle doctrine to your vehicle has been in place for over a decade.

I've never known it to be illegal to have a long gun in a vehicle, even in plain view, in Texas.

ETA: If it is, or has been, illegal .............. then I've been breaking the law for 50 years, and never been stopped. I need to buy more lotto tickets.

It is funny about Post Offices. Under the right circumstances you can ship a fire arm through the USPS so you would have to carry it inside.

yep, but it better be in a box or your actions will be misconstrued.

Depends...a private person can legally ship firearms(there are stipulations) thru USPS.

You can ship them thru USPS but make sure the box doesn't have "excessive tape" on it, doesn't have more postage than required, doesn't rattle when shook, and make sure the box won't bust open. These things can mark it as suspicious (even if it's labeled correctly) and where I work gets a call and the package gets placed in holding until a Postal Inspector can make it up there to collect it and blah blah blah

Eureka! I need to pick up a flat rate mailer box to keep in the car!
