I think maybe I should post IBTL every time a new open carry thread starts right at the beginning, since it seems darn near inevitable.

It's illegal to open carry in back country state and federal park primitive camp areas.

Please don't break the law.

So, do I understand this correctly? I am genuinely curious.

PC §46.15(b)(3) would make carrying a handgun legal if he was engaged in "lawful hunting, fishing, or other sporting activity on the immediate premises where the activity is conducted". I guess you are saying camping or hiking in the woods would not be considered an "other sporting activity"? I guess it would be legal if he is also carrying a fishing pole and license?

What "other sporting activities" would apply?

I don't think an online petition, signed by a bunch of out of state folks is going to mean much.

If you're interested in making it a priority, join TSRA and NRA and let them know you want them to work for it here in Texas.

I used to "semi open carry" in urban areas when I lived in Ohio all the time. By "semi open carry", I mean I carried IWB with the grip-only showing above the belt.

People rarely noticed -- like 2-3 times per year. It was not a big deal.

Now, I wear the same IWB holster, but I wear my shirt tucked in over it. All it does is slow down my draw.
