Re: Why exactly does Texas not have open carry?

I support OC, if for no other reason than being insulated from some namby-pamby whimp kid shouting out to his/her namby-pamby whimp, and otherwise wanting mother/parents, "MOM, that fat old guy over there has a {shudder} GUN!"

Strutting about with guns in Duck Dynasty/Ted Nugent costumes is not the way to win the 'hearts and minds' of the general voting populace, IMO.

Re: Why exactly does Texas not have open carry?

You reckon?

We've spent the entire last six (6) summers in a half dozen or more OC states and we've never noticed (gawked at/been panicked/terrorized by) anyone in an OC configuration. OC is no big deal...where it's legal. You either do or you don't....it's called freedom of choice. :patriot:

Mt coworker...? Open Carry is legal in Montana. So, who did get attention from nearby tables and why, do you think?

Get these people to crawl back under their rocks and OC just might have a chance.

This. Exactly this.

Re: Why exactly does Texas not have open carry?

It goes back to the 1870's when the white folk feared the newly freed black folk would get guns and get even.....or so I've been told.
