Thanks.. I just found the TX laws on rifles/shotguns in the vehicle. They can be loaded and such..

I am flying into EL PASO and heading down I10 to US90.. I have shipped my AR to myself.. (to be picked up at a location)..

What is the laws concerning RIFLE transport in the state without a CASE.. I have the BOX I shipped it to myself in..

But I am concerned with transport.. I do have a PA carry ...

about 1 1/2 -2 miles beyond coverage.. :(

I was thinking the same thing about 3 months back..

Well if anyone wants to spot me $8K more I'll just stay there permanent..

Too bad booby traps are illegal. . . I'd vote for a door that closes, locks, and calls the sheriff after they enter.

I'd be afraid that too much reinforcement of the door will cost you a skylight.

The skylight is 12' up near the peak of the roof.. you'd need a ladder or someone to lift you.. but ...

I understand the if they 'want in' theory.. I just want prevention by stragglers whom would say no worth the effort..

There is nothing showing.. would a note saying EMPTY and NO HAY AGUA in spanish/english be better??

UPDATE..

I found these.. they have a 2 1/2" BOLT length to go thru the door frame directly and into the 2x4 framing (not using the metal thing)..

Do you think 2 of these (with padlocks).. 1 top (going up into header) and 1 bottom (into floor) in addition to deadbolt and locking knob would deter ...

I've shipped rifles in doubled boxes with 0 issues over the years.. PSA shippes rifles in plain boxes as well.

I'll be breaking it down and getting into a smaller SQ box so its not so obvious.. ;-)

$23 and $23 isn't that bad (and less than a good hard case..) and I have issues with the ELP ...

Some Aervoe Paint.. 4 colors and some OD under it.. pine needles and mesh.. etc..

I am traveling to TX in about 3 weeks and don't want to check it with the TSA/Airline.. (and I don't have a hardcase)

Whats the concensus of shipping my small AR to myself (with insurance) via UPS ground for the week?? (for $23)

I'd also be shipping 100 rounds of ammo via UPS Ground (with proper ...

I found a guy north of me that says for rights to hunt on it, he'll check in on it for me..

So getting a steel door with no window panels won't matter?? even with a drop bolt and dead bolt if I reinforce the edges with metal??

I am 10 miles up a county road from the RioGrande.. but again it appears to have no traffic..

I'm about 17 miles South of Van Horn... not near I-10 at all...

I'm putting up a cabin 12 x 24 off of US90 and wanted to know if theres any KNOWN issues out that way with people crossing the Rio. Going out for 1 week mid-April for the build.. then back to PA for 4 months or so.. before coming back out again..

Second issue the cabin is a basic shell and will ...
