I'd love to see it happen, but I'm not holding my breath.
I currently carry with IWB holsters, but it's a pain because of my body shape.
I can't conceal a OWB holster as well as IWB, and tucking-in is out of the question.
Open carry would be beneficial by giving me peace-of-mind that I won't be arrested if my OWB holster is revealed. Heck, It's a great conversation tool as well...
I'd probably go all-out on July 4th, though... Colt Cowboy SAA .45 in a leather belt holster, amond cowboy hat, boots and red, white and blue on the truck.
Although, I'll put my dollar on Harris County Cops adding about 100 lbs. to their badge weight in abuse and harassment.

Re: No CHL and traffic stop while carrying in vehicle.
Solution:Elvis and I obviously disagree on the legal requirement for showing a CHL during an interaction with law enforcement. I would still do it even if the law is changed for the reasons I've stated, but that's beside the point. Elvis wants his officers to know of the gun; I don't want a CHL facing suspension and/or a Class B conviction for forgetting to show a CHL. This difference of opinion doesn't turn natural allies into enemies. It doesn't mean I don't care about his officers' lives, nor does it mean he is showing contempt for CHLs.
LEGALIZE OPEN CARRY!!!!
