Long gun automobile carry in TX

[AvidshooterTX]

I have a TX permit. I understand that a permit is no longer needed for automobile concealed carry in Texas for handguns. But what about long guns? Could I have a loaded AR in my SUV?

Yes, anywhere in the vehicle, visible or out of view.

Awesome. In this era of terrorist attacks it would be nice to have a 20-round mag of .223 handy. Of course the cowards usually just blow themselves up - but I can dream...
