Although I am for OC, this is a point I can not argue.Crosstimbers Okie wrote:I oppose open carry for one reason--timing. This is not the congress and president that we want to provoke to action on guns.

why?
under what circumstances?
Texas is not an open carry state, but open carry is legal on your own property, is that bad too?
Its perfectly legal to open carry at a gun range or while hunting, do you wish to continue to exempt those examples?
I'm just trying to understand the details of this statement.
thanks.
"Only the police and military should allowed to open carry a gun."
"If you open carry a gun the criminal will take it away and shoot you with it."
"If Texans open carry guns it will be like the Wild West with blood in the streets!"
"Open carrying guns is okay in other states but Texas is different."
"I don't need to open carry a gun so nobody needs to open carry a gun."

And that attitude will keep OC illegal.
If that statement were true, the states that currently allow OC without a permit would be scrambling to require it.
OC failed here because of the people pushing it did not know the right way to get it passed here in Texas. It never made it far enough to even discuss whether BC or permit would be required.
Attitude did have a lot to do with it, but it wasn't mine.
