Re: Historical Curiosities on "Traveling"

Bain vs State of Texas
In this 1898 case, the Texas court decides that a person going a distance of 35 miles, and staying overnight, is a "traveler" under a statute permitting travelers to carry firearms on their person.
Consider that a 35 mile trip in 1898 might equate to a 500 mile trip today. Both would amount to a day's travel.
