Am I mistaken or is this report inaccurate?

[chromedomepinoyboy]

Found this report while reading some news on my phone and the last item doesn't seem accurate: "4. The gun also must be in your name". And if you watch the actual video, the slide that lists the rules doesn't include this phantom rule. It's almost like he just makes it up and throws it in there at the last minute.

According to the reporter, my wife cannot have "her" Glock that is registered to me in her vehicle. Is the reporter correct in saying that?

Thanks in advance.

HOUSTON - It's probably the best kept secret in Texas that could provide you protection while you travel.

A little, known law allows you to extend your gun rights from your home to your car without a concealed handgun license.

The legislature made it okay for Texans to ride with their guns in their vehicles without a concealed weapons permit. The sticking point has been whether you're traveling or not. Now the law is clear that you're presumed to be traveling.

We talked with some experts who say this is a right most Texans should appreciate.

Fort Bend County Sheriff Milton Wright says his deputies on the street are also aware of the
law. But with every law there are guidelines to follow. Here's what you should know about the traveling rule and your weapon:

1. It must be hidden from plain view.

2. The owner can't be involved in criminal activity or a gang.

3. A person can't be prohibited by law from carrying a weapon.

4. The gun also must be in your name

Check out the comments section.
One comment says, "In your name means this reporter doesn't have a clue what he is talking about".

That about sums it up.

No such thing as IN YOUR NAME in Texas.

Given that Texas has no "registration" requirement, how can that be a rule/law?

The reporter is a moron, and was probably just ad-libbing to create filler.

+1 and probably trying to stir up the left.

Seems they never can stick to the facts.

Thanks. Just wanted to make sure. I originally read the report on an Android app on my phone so there wasn't a comments section. I went and found the article on their site for reference but didn't bother scrolling down any further, oops.

Can a passenger also have their own gun concealed in the car?

With a CHL, OR if it is HIS vehicle.

This report is wrong on more than ONE point

HOUSTON - It's probably the best kept secret in Texas that could provide you protection while you travel.

A little, known law allows you to extend your gun rights from your home to your car without a concealed handgun license. These "rights" are not extended from the home to the car. They are separate. Also, the words "little" and "known" should not be separated by a comma. Some reporter.

The legislature made it okay for Texans to ride with their guns in their vehicles without a concealed weapons permit. The sticking point has been whether you're traveling or not. Now the law is clear that you're presumed to be traveling. No, there is no "presumption" of traveling, and the word travel is not used in the statute.

ALthough this has already been covered by the other posters here, I have to say this just amazes me.

Of the TV reporters I have dealt with (and there have been quite a few), it is rare for them to get the facts straight in their broadcast. They will interject wrong info even when it is easier to stick to the facts that they are given.
