It must be legal there.  George Zimmerman was pulled over for speeding in Texas with a piece in the glove box.  No problem!   :thumbsup:

Texas not only allows it, but they passed a law that allows you to keep your gun in a vehicle on Company property while at work. 

It allows you to be armed on the commute to and from work.  In the past, if the Company said "no guns on property," it pretty much disarmed you or you took a risk of losing your job and facing charges.

The one thing to be aware of:  it's unlawful to leave a gun where a child might get it.  Therefore, a locked vehicle, locked glove box, locking gun storage box, or similar child-proof storage *is* required.

Here's another recent one in Cleveland where the gun was stashed in the victims car where he managed to retrieve it, and then shot and killed one of the assailants.

"According to the police, the homeowner and a woman were leaving the house and were getting into the homeowner's car when they were approached by two men wearing masks. One of the men had a handgun and used it to pistol-whip the homeowner and then attempted to pull him from the vehicle. The homeowner managed to retrieve a gun from the car and shot the suspect several times".
