Are there any areas or places that I should avoid?
You mean like south Padre? How about taking the same drive time and going to Pensacola. Sugar white sand, turquoise water, National Museum of Naval Aviation, Forts Barancas, Pickens and the Redoubt. Good to go traveling with your weapon and once you get there.
Same drive time from Austin to Pensacola as to South Padre...I think you're leaving out Louisiana, Mississippi, and (teeny portion of)Alabama. If only... :lol: :lol:

Anyway, I second your recommendation of the Navy Flight Museum if only because on of my NROTC buddies is now retired Navy Aviator and the director of the museum.

Back to original question...There are no special carry restrictions in SPI, TX, because Texas law preempts cities/counties from regulating carry.
Yeah well Okay, how about the same from where I'm at (North of Fort Worth) to Pensacola as from Austin to Pensacola...sheesh didn't think anyone might be somewhere else in Texas :roll:
