While I doubt I would carry openly, I would like to see it allowed in Texas. Like others have said, I would like the additional protection against “printing� or accidentally “flashing� my handgun.
Also, I prefer OWB carry. For me, it’s a faster presentation and more comfortable to wear. But it also prints better…
I would also probably change the weapon I would carry. At present I carry either a Kimber Ultra Carry, or a Glock G-26 when leaving the ranch (generally in IWB if I’m going to town, or OWB if staying rural).
If open carry were in effect, I would carry my full sized 1911 or my Glock G23. I prefer them, but IWB is rather uncomfortable, and OWB is too visible.
I would also prefer the rule be Open Carry for all, not just CHL. If it’s CHL only, then it seems LEO’s will still have to check you out to verify you have a license. It would be nice to avoid that hassle. But OC with a CHL is better then none at all…
