I wear my SA 1911 Lightweight Compact in an inexpensive Don Hume OWB holster.
Frankly my dear, I'm not concerned if the muzzle might peek out beneath the shirt or jacket. It doesn't look any different than the gazillion cell phones, belt knives/tools that we all see all day and night long on our fellow bipeds. It's not a big deal because nobody cares and nobody notices.
Er,...uh, YMMV.

Re: "Texas Gun Owners Divided on Best Aaproach to Legalizing
Is it a "power" mindset? If I have a eargosplitten loudenblaster and he/she doesn't, I have the power. Cold this be what it's about at the LEO/guv'mint level? Say it ain't so.03Lightningrocks wrote:Now that situation makes me angry at the cops. That was an extreme over reaction on their part. Me thinks the cops anti gun sentiment showed through all to clearly. I could not believe they allowed their bloated ego's help them make the decision to actually arrest that guy.
One more thing. That fat cop said a person called in. Is there any proof of that?

1. I have Bluetooth as well as indoor plumbing - thank you.03Lightningrocks wrote:That cell phone law is gonna get me. I use a bluetooth ear piece, (You probably don't know about this technology yet.Just think of it as a fancy cordless phone that fits in your ear. ). I get to talking business on it and forget. I look up and am smack in the middle of a school zone. I have no desire to get busted for an OC gun crime because I cross over some City line from conservative to liberal. My bet is that the Austin area would be off limits. As well as Dallas. Plano would be a toss up. We have way to many yankees that won't go home.Oldgringo wrote:Notices at the edge of town; you know, kinda' like the no cell phone signs in school zones maybe?

2. It doesn't matter because OC is not going to be accepted in Texas. In states where OC is accepted, it doesn't matter there either.
3. I saw a guy with a Sneaky Pete holster in W-M today. I suspect, of the masses therein, he and I might have been the only ones who knew he was carrying. Like I said, it doesn't matter.
It's time.

It would be better IMO if TX and VA had carry laws like AZ or AK. Constitutional carry is very attractive to me. If you are legal to own you are legal to carry it however you wish. As far as being antagonistic and causing more 30.06 signs. I don't think we have anymore no gun signs than TX does. Truth be told I saw more 30.06 signs in my two weeks in San Antonio than I have seen in ten years in and around Richmond.

In our annual travels, we don't see any more "gun buster" signs in Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, the Dakotas and Arizona than we see 30.06 signs in Texas. Now then, what is the real problem? Maybe have statewide OC with metro preemption?
I'd appreciate better results then anecdotes from small states who's aggregate population is less then Harris County.

I know yall are kidding around, but really it is just as annoying as when they show the militia belonging to, cammo wearing, long bearded chain smoking 60 year old man as what all gun owners are like.

Re: "Texas Gun Owners Divided on Best Aaproach to Legalizing
We've spent the past full seven (7) summers in OC states and it ain't no big deal. I suspect in all seven summers, I might have seen seven OC who weren't LEO. Even where legal, it apparently just ain't done...at least where we've been in Colorado, Montana and even rural Virginia.
I do not OC but I must admit that I'm not too concerned about who might see my CC in those states.
