I don't OC all the time, but it is invaluable for those situations where you did not know that you were made by your toddler's foot as you carried him about. You know and everyone else around you does as well that you are perfectly within the law. The MWAG calls are much less intimidating and clear. Most of the time the 911 operator takes care of it without the police ever being notified. If they do show up and your gun is holstered, you are behaving normally, you are in the clear. Note the reason I stick around this forum is that I have family in TX, was born here, and visit as often as I can.
Yall do beat us out though on your castle doctrine. Ours is woefully lacking.
We've spent the past two summers in Montana and four summers before that in other OC states. I have to really work on caring who sees my CC when we're at the 'home ranch' in Texas. It's nice to not be concerned with CC exposure. For that reason, I would be delighted to see OC legalized in the Lone Star State.
