I think we have a different political climate than CA. Even CA only passed that rediculous ban through their house by 115 to 108. Pretty slim victory. I just think that there's a lot of griping about OC and no one is doing anything about it. I just had an idea but seeing as it's illegal anyways it's a moot point

I allready explained the point above. If WE Texans want OC then we have to start somewhere.

In no way am I about the shock tactics of massive OC demonstrations but I think if people were able to see a person practicing OC at the H.E.B. getting groceries or walking with their family in the park they would begin to see that said people were just "average Joe" and the false stigma attached to guns could begin to be erroded. I think, at least partially, that the opposition to OC is one that stems from an "out of sight, out of mind" attitude. People don't realize that 3 of every 100 Texans may be carrying a handgun because they are concealed so the connection is not made.

Am I alone on this or does this honestly make any sense?

The reason I ask is because if we were able to UOC then by doing so we could bring attention (in a positive way) to the issue. Even if I did, I would strap the small less threatening snubnose on my hip and keep the loaded semiauto under my shirt.

I thought that might be the case. too bad

I know there has been quite the stir in CA regarding unloaded open carry but that got me thinking. What is the law in TX regarding UOC? Is there any difference from loaded OC? Just wondering.

Thanks
