Re: HB 910 Conference Committee
I wish that the amendment would stay. The big advantage I see in OC is normalizing seeing a citizen carrying a firearm. As a practical, effective, but out of the way tool. I do not want places like Austin to be questioning OC, because that is detrimental. And even a lawsuit to stop continuous harassment is not good PR.
I would rather see OC perceived as the mark of someone who society has determined, by issuing a license, to be trustworthy. Unlicensed OC will wait until that perception builds.
If OC is often stopped, to the point where it is avoided, it will become like long gun OC. Not done in polite society. I like the LGOC law, use it about every year walking from camp down the road to where I enter the woods hunting public land. But it is unnecessary in the city, would be an uncomfortable PITA, and if I crave attention wearing a clown hat is easier. I do not want OC to be seen that way, and police stops, and public avoidance, would make it that way.
