You have me posting something I didn't author.

Thanks

I really try to do a good job proof reading before I post, but I blew it this time. (and not for the first time, sigh...)

What I should have posted: If the basic argument for open carry is: Concealed Carry is "uncomfortable"....sorry, but I find that complaint a little short of my sympathy...

CHLers find carrying (within varying degrees) a bit uncomfortable and are always concerned with accidental un-concealment. With that goes the anguish of someone potentially calling in an MWAG if we fail to remain concealed. In other words, remaining concealed is work...work I'm willing to put up with as I still get to carry and for me, that ain't bad...

Women have to worry about modesty wearing dresses and skirts, so too we as CHLers have to (ok, I'm stretching the analogy a bit, but not that much...) concern ourselves with our own gun modesty...yet I don't find it THAT difficult, horseback, motorcycle, bicycle or fill in the blank.

If the basic argument for open carry is: It's "uncomfortable"....sorry, but I find that complaint a little short of my sympathy...

I'm ambivalent regarding open carry. I'm content with my CHL and wouldn't open carry publicly if I legally could, but that's me. If it does become legal and you want to - have at it.

I wonder though, what percentage (I assume a small one) simply want an ego boost were open carry allowed...?

Perhaps, even ride a white horse like Hopalong Cassidy, wear a western costume, and oh yeah, a fine two gun set of big ole revolvers complete with fine leather tooled holsters and a cartridge belt filled to capacity with gleaming rounds.

Then, if you can carry a tune, wherever you roam in Texas you could sing, "I've got spurs that jingle, jangle, jingle...

Am I mocking? Yes, a little.

Many OC fans seem wound a bit tight - so a bit of levity.
