I too don't know why open carry is not legal in Texas and blaming the "vocal" people pushing OC to me does not seem the answer. Perhaps we respond this way because we consider ourselves superior or elite as having CHL. I really don't know why we don't have OC, I personally would not OC but it wouldn't bother me.
Yes, it has been answered. There are many historical reasons that can not be undone.

I don't consider myself elite or superior. I consider myself to be fortunate to live in a state where I can carry a concealed handgun.

Get these people to crawl back under their rocks and OC just might have a chance.
:iagree: Stated slightly differently than my response, but IMO true. ;-)

Re: Why exactly does Texas not have open carry?

The thread is going to get locked if it continues in this direction.

Most of the people on this forum are pro-2A. Other wise they would not be here.

IMO, most of the people who rant about open carry are not willing to accept the political and legislative realities that are required to change a law.
