Crossing LA/TX state line with pistol?

I hope so...been doing it for a while

I think you're good in Texas. Bama is the one that you gotta watch out for.

Id let someone else confirm that though

It has to be concealed in your vehicle in Texas. Can't be out in the open. Keep it in your console and you will be fine.

Exactly

If driving through bama you have to lock the gun up and the ammo has to be in a different part of the vehicle.

Or something along those lines. Basically can't have a loaded handgun and it definitely can't be easily accessed by the driver

I think your good to go if you have a ccl

lol you fly with a pistol to any state in the usa. so you can drive through every state with a pistol. hunters have been doing it for how long now.

like they said have the pistol in 1 box and the ammo in another box just for precautions

I wish it were that simple and made that much sense. OTOH, there are a number of states that are MUCH more restrictive about transporting guns that are LA and TX. If one doesn't already know the laws of a state, the BEST idea is to look up those state specific laws yourself before transporting a gun through that state. Laws vary depending on whether one's transporting a long gun or handgun. There's a lot of variance on how to legally transport a gun in different states. In some states (e.g. CT), one could still get in trouble for having ammo and gun in separate containers, yet accessible to the driver/passenger.
"Carrying Handguns in Motor Vehicles. By law, when handguns are being transported in a motor vehicle, they must be unloaded and kept in a place (1) not readily or directly accessible from the passenger compartment or (2) locked container other than the glove compartment or console. A violation carries a penalty of one to five years imprisonment, a fine of up to $1,000, or both, with a mandatory minimum one-year sentence in the absence of mitigating circumstances. Any handgun found in the violator's possession must be forfeited (CGS §§ 29-35 and 29-37)."

This is a very good website to reference when looking up info on gun related issues.
