The definition of traveling is pretty clear, it means any where you go. What part isn’t right?
That wasn’t what the definition of “travelling” when applied to the carriage of a pistol in a vehicle used to be. It used to be whatever the local DA wanted it to mean and would mean anything from the common-sense “anywhere you are going” to “must cross at least two county lines with an overnight stay and cannot be a commute.”
It could also be interpreted as the pistol becoming illegally stored in the car if you were at a stop light, stopping for fuel or food, parked for a bathroom break, etc., etc. It needed to be cleared up and was in 2007.
“While Traveling” language was specifically not included in the Texas Concealed Carry law when it was promulgated. In Texas it had always been legal (?) to carry a handgun in a vehicle when you were “traveling” and was codified in the existing laws. This “while traveling” provision was included when there was circuit riders (preachers on horseback) to give them a legal means to protect themselves even in counties places where carrying a handgun had been outlawed. Over time it had to be tested in the courts as some law officers would simply decide for themselves the definition of “traveling”. Each case was adjudicated separately and the defendant had to “prove”” his innocence. Still, the actual law was never exactly defined.
So, “while traveling” was simply allowed to die with the Concealed carry law.
Your definition of “traveling” is technically correct but the use of “traveling” as a defense is flawed under the old law.
