  It seems to me that if you haven't invested in a proper gun safe for your car you shouldn't be carrying in the first place because there are definitely places that you cannot take a gun into, even in Texas. I have never known a gun-owner who did not purchase a proper gun restraint for their car. Still, if you don't have a gun safe in the car surely you do the same thing as you would when going to court, a school, a church, an amusement park, voting at a polling place, a racetrack, a hospital, a nursing home, or to any other business that prohibits handguns on the premises. You leave it at home, right?

    Generally speaking I'm pragmatic when it comes to carrying a weapon. The same as carrying a tourniquet, first aid kit, or helmet. Personally I live in an extremely safe community with almost no violent crime. So carrying a weapon is comparable to wearing a helmet while driving a car. While it could save my life, it's too much trouble considering how rare such situations are. However, I understand there are hundreds of reasons to carry a weapon and everyone's situation is unique. If you want to put up with the trouble to carry one, it is literally your right. I just wish people would be more responsible about their weapons in general...
