Couple of questions:

1. I have read the 1,000,000 membership for NRA drive. What are the advantages to this?
The goal is to recruit as many NRA members as possible. The upcoming presidential staff and many new congress members are not gun friendly and we need as many people supporting the NRA to help lobby against the anti-gun people as possible.

2. My in-laws are from Kansas - so we travel often back and forth. While I am waiting on my CHL, what are the laws governing carrying a loaded handgun in my truck?

I know that in Texas I can carry in my truck without a CHL under the Castle Doctrine - just not sure in Oklahoma and Kansas - any help would be appreciated.

It isn't actually the Castle Doctrine in Texas, but the Motorist Protection Act. As for your travels, you cannot carry in your vehicle in Oklahoma or Kansas without a permit. Once you receive your Texas permit, it is reciprocal with OK and KS.

3. I'm in Arlington. Is there a local NRA or other sort of gun club I could become a member of?

I am not sure about some of the clubs in that area, but I know there are members that will be.

Thanks for any and all advice/info.
