However I am also in favor of the art of the possible. It appears that long guns are scaring the crap out of people in TX.....If your tactics are creating the opposite effect of what you desire...time to rethink and retool. I would recommend OC rallies with empty holsters, or the bananas. Here in VA we protest our polls being illegally closed to OC with empty holsters.

Get what you can giving up and little as possible. Y'all have good gun laws on the whole. Don't sell it all for a pipe dream.

We need to unite and do work on both front organized public OC events and lobbying to get OC legal in Texas. United we stand, divided we falter.

First off we need to stage a protest calling for legalization of handgun OC. We need to do it without using the in your face tactics, and avoid repeating tactics to the point they get the response of "Yawn..."

So lets use the mythical "Texans United For Open Carry" group, which would possibly be known as TU4OC. Lets say there is a comic convention or Star Wars convention in town the group could walk around dressed up as male and female versions of Han Solo with a banana in the holster with a few dressed as a robot that would be called 2-4-OC. The group would catch the attention of the convention goers and they would look into the issue.

The next week get everybody together, call the media, go to the park and do a "pushing up for OC" event where the protesters each do up to one push up for each year that OC has been banned.

The next week do something different. The more unusual the better it is for catching the medias attention and leave the long guns at home because you don't want them to be the subject of the media coverage.

That is actually a reasoned response, and those are good ideas.
