"Baxter said the last time someone was charged with flying while intoxicated in this area was about a month ago in Grape Creek."

I'm kind of confused about something

In Texas it is legal to travel with a firearm in a vehicle. However, "if that person's committing a crime, (carrying the weapon) becomes a violation of the law," Baxter said.

So if I have my Ruger P94 in my glove compartment and I am stopped for speeding (committing a crime) carrying the weapon is also a crime?

I bet it happens quite a bit actually. Whether they're caught or not.

No, it only becomes unlawful carrying of a weapon if you commit an offense other than a class misdemeanor C traffic violation.

Isn't that one of the first things you're supposed to tell a cop if you get pulled over and you have a weapon in your car?

Only if you have a CHL
