It was a very helpless feeling with that dude trying to block the road, it was dark, deserted and he had paper plates. That is the texas equivalent of a car with a hoodie and mask, untraceable.

I haven't really felt the need to carry as I am usually not putting myself in situations (ie bar fights, domestic disputes) that gun play usually follows. Driving a red porsche will draw some attention but on this occasion I was in my nondescript kia soul.

Yeah, I haven't had that situation, but a couple of times over the years that I've been here, I've had weird/corncerning situations occur. It's unsettling. And yes, driving a Porsche or any sports car seems to be able to trigger the weirdness.

I "truck carry" in Maryland and Virginia, both have very specific requirements for the transportation of guns and ammunition.

I follow both to, as I mentioned, the letter. If I have a meeting in DC, I do not truck carry. Not worth it.

Lastly, you need to really rethink the spoon option. There are better options if you are not prepared.

Fortunately for bivenator, Texas recently passed a law so that anyone can CC without a license.

How are you going to get to the box or anything in or out of the box if it's bolted under the seat?
