"Silly and juvenile"...that's an interesting way to put it, considering your signature line.

I consider winos signature line to be tantamount to character assassination of half the people on this forum so I give no credence whatsoever to anything he says.

Please give me a break on your feigned outrage of my sig. if i had a $0.05 for every derogatory comment or sigs made about liberals, lefties or democrats in this form I'd have more money than Donald Trump and Mitt Romney combined.

Putting a comment in a post is one thing; but adding your insult to your signature line puts it in every one of your posts. Perhaps you will reconsider.

Chas.

Mr. Cotton,

It's your site and I'll do what ever you ask or tell me to do. I highly suspect that had I not been honest in my intial post as to how i feel about OC and had I used Democrat rather than Republican in my sig, we would not be having this conversation.

Good luck, I think you might be waiting for a while.

He went straight from his first incorrect statement to either calling the legislature idiots or implying that they were thinking about brandishing when they wrote other parts of the law, or maybe both. Either way, it doesn't prove him wrong in his mind.

You got that right.

I never said it was in the CHL-16, just stated it was against the law. If you don't think brandishing is against the law because it's not stated in the CHL-16 or that Texas does not have a law against brandishing, do what I said in my earlier post and see what happens while prancing around in front of a LEO.

If you leave me alone about my signature, I'll leave you alone about yours.

Why, pray tell, would I bother you about your sig??

As for the parsing of "brandishing" vs. threatening, exposing, intimidating in CHL-16 starting in Penal Code 30.05 onward, I'm guessing our Lege either didn't know the meaning of brandishing or figured no one else would, so they used many words that could have been said in one.

In country, on private land and / or with land owners permission I carry open - also in back country state and federal park primative camp areas. There is no way I would not in Big Bend primative camp areas. Not in Panther Junction, HEB, Walmart or walking down a city street where it is illegal.

NO, it is NOT! There is no such thing as brandishing in Texas.

Do you even know the meaning of brandishing?? Try it front of a Texas LEO and let's see what happens to you or your CHL.

No worse than yours, kind sir.

Personally feel open carry is silly and juvenile. Incidental exposure of your legal CC isn't a crime in Texas - threatening and brandishing is. Making a best effort to conceal and having it accidentally exposed may get a LEO sicced on you, but if legally licensed to carry it's not going anywhere. In any case, don't really care one way ot the other about public open carry in Texas.

I recently, in a crowded restuarant, had a waitress behind me put her hands on my waist (kinda like a line dance so crowded) and CC weapon, gave me a knowing look and seated us.
