Thanks for the info! Does this mean that I can buy a handgun, then take it with me when I travel to Dallas from Tulsa, and put it in either my glovebox or on the front seat, without any sort of permit/license, etc.? How does this work when you travel from state to state? What about carrying it in my purse in hotels, restaurants, etc.? I am considering buying a handgun, and long trips in strange territory are where I feel I need it the most.
sadly, there is NO one correct answer.
in your case, OK to TX, get an OK CCW & you're "good to go" in about 1/2 the states.
betwween me & thee a NICELY-dressed lady will NEVER be arrested for carrying provided that she says that she's traveling & is AFRAID. =====> that's what i told my late wife in the days before CCW in TX. NO police officer ever bothered her about her carrying concealed in all those years, despite being "pulled over" numerous times. (VK had a HEAVY FOOT & a FAST sports car!!! = we won't talk about the BIG fines i sometimes paid for her, as a result of 70/80/90/100+MPH in a 30/40/50/55MPH zone!!!)

nonetheless, UNSOLICITED advice, based on 4 decades of experience as a master range officer/Army MP officer/LEO in 4 states ===> buy a Smith & Wesson STAINLESS STEEL Chief's Special in .38SPL & go take PROFESSIONAL LESSONS on it's SAFE use.
the "stainless chief" is just about "bulletproof", pun intended, & is nearly maintenance FREE as well. it has been "THE CHOICE" of HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of LEOs as a primary/backup revolver since the early 1960s. S&W has "worked out" what FEW "bugs" it ever had & it's "just about "PURR-fect" now. (my "duckie" goes NO PLACE w/o hers in her thigh holster/back pocket of her jeans!!! she calls hers: "my little friend".)
finally, a PURSE is a POOR place to CCW for a lady. IF your purse gets "snatched" (THOUSANDS are SNATCHED each day!!!), you have done TWO BAD THINGS:
1. lost your revolver &
2. ARMED your opponent!!!
just the advice of an OLD but NOT bold LEO!!!
