"Gov. Perry also signed H.B. 1815, a bill that allows any Texas resident to carry a concealed handgun in the resident’s motor vehicle without a CHL or other permit.[211] Chapter 46, Section 2 of the Penal Code states that it is in fact not "Unlawful Carry of a Weapon" for a person to carry a weapon while in a motor vehicle they own or control, or to carry while heading directly from the person’s home to that car. However, lawful carry while in a vehicle requires these three critical qualifiers: (1) the gun must be concealed; (2) the carrier cannot be involved in criminal activities; and (3) the carrier cannot be a member of a criminal gang"

In Texas you can protect your car just like your house.

I would say read before making a mistake... if you get caught with a handgun in DC its 5 years for the gun and 1 year for every bullet in the vehicle. So glad i was crossing the bridge into VA and stopped on VA side with DC cop...
Concealed is CONCEALED. There are no special clauses because you have a CHL.

No... actually DC doesn't have anything on the books right now so the last rule is still in effect. The city council in DC hasn't updated anything yet...

Thanks everyone for the comments. I got to OKC safe, it took about 21 hours, I tried to stop to sleep, but couldnt so I pretty much drove straight through. I did take a 35 min nap in Memphis. I was pulled over a couple miles out of Memphis TN. The cop pulled me over because he said he couldnt read my rear license plate, because of my tinted cover (pretty sure he seen my front plate when I passed him). But I had my gun in my passenger seat, I had the slide pulled back (when I put it in the car before I left), just in case I got pulled over, so the cop would be able to see it was unloaded. I had the ammo in the glove box locked. He walked up on the passenger side and as soon as he got close I let me know about the gun. He didnt even notice it at first, guess it blended in with the seat. He was cool though, he said "Nice Gun and Car". He let me know that the license plate cover was illegal in TN but since I was from VA I was ok, he ran my DL and gun and then came back and told me to have a good day. So all in all, everything worked out great. No tickets the whole way, thanks in part to my Bel STI driver. Thanks to everyone who commented it really did help me out.
