No, reference Texas House bill 1815, which piggybacks on the castle law to include automobiles in Texas. It states that not only is a persons home a "castle", so is your personal car and therfore may be defended if you feel that your life is in danger.

For example, in North Carolina, you may have a loaded handgun within reach in your vehicle, so long as it's kept in plain sight. Other states will not permit you to keep a loaded firearm in your vehicle unless you possess a concealed carry permit.

It depends on what you mean. If you mean, can you have a gun in your car, the answer is, it depends. Some states, such as Mississippi, allow a person to carry a gun in the car even if the person doesn't have a permit, because the car is considered an extension of your home. Other states, such as Tennessee, allow car carry only if you have a valid handgun carry permit. Federal law allows you to transport an unloaded firearm in your car while travelling if the gun is unloaded and not accessible to you, so even if you don't have a permit, you can transport a firearm from one place to another, even if you don't have a permit, as long as you can legally possess the gun.
