If open carry were legal in Texas, I'd get a cap and ball revolver like Eastwood had in "Pale Rider" and have a holster worn low on the hip.

Funny thing--I was deployed once, and there were a group of nationals that were die hard western fans. They believed that there were gunslingers like that now in the US. They noticed I had a different accent than the other few Americans there, and brought it up one day. My buddy told them I was from the South and I was one of those "gunslingers". He never told me he did this until I kept talking about how wierd the nationals were acting toward me all of a sudden.[/list]

I was wondering why texas does not allow open carry. Of all the states in the Union, I figure Texas would be the last to ban it! I know many states allow open OR concealed carry. I would never carry open as I feel it attracts unwanted attention and defeats the purpose I got a CHL in the first place. On a different note, it would be nice not to have to worry about printing or flashing. What are your opinions on this?
