I doubt that the number of people actually carrying a handgun in their car is going to increase significantly. A large proportion of the Texas population already carried handguns in their cars, albeit illegally. Having said that their will be some marginal increase, like my wife. The big benefit of this law is that it will stop prosecutors from charging otherwise lawabiding people with UCW just because they have a handgun in the car.

We still have the trap for the unwary of the Federal prohibition against carrying within 1000 feet of a school. While that hasn't generally been prosecuted, that has never given me much comfort. I really hope the NRA will start working hard on getting rid of the school gun free, soft target zones.

BTW, thanks Charles for all your work over the years on these issues. It is much appreciated.
