I disagree... if open carry were the only option today in Texas, I think you would see many open carrying. Much of the stigma comes from the fact that we have concealed carry available as a legal option. Make open carry the only legal option and many of the folks who carry concealed legally today would be open carriers.K.Mooneyham wrote: ↑Sun Feb 10, 2019 11:55 amI have no reason to doubt that YOU would OC if that was the only option. However, I firmly believe that many would NOT OC for the reasons I have stated earlier. Also, OCing would make it much easier for a business to ban you from the premises while doing so, unless the law stated otherwise. And I think we both know that a legislature bent on preventing people from legally carrying firearms isn't going to do anything to help those carrying. Again, I am not opposed to OCing, nor do am I a believer in any of the misinformation about it.cyphertext wrote: ↑Sat Feb 09, 2019 12:35 amI carry concealed because I can.
