Long story short, there is some question if we as TX holders can open carry. One law says we can't and

Do you know which laws are conflicting? Would you post them here or links to them?

The OSBI, the equivalent to our Texas Rangers, said that it would be legal for those with a CHL from Texas to OC in Oklahoma.

Any link or help on finding an official opinion? It is VERY relevant to my situation here.

That's nice. I'm looking forward to my trip through OK to KS next month even more now. I know it's only the first day, but so far I've read several positive stories from folks OCing today and none of them have been hassled by LE. You just know it'll happen somewhere, but they seem like they're off to a good start.

Does this mean that you are planning to be the non-resident test case?

RECIPROCAL AGREEMENT AUTHORITY

The State of Oklahoma hereby recognizes any valid concealed or unconcealed carry weapons permit or license issued by another state.

Any person entering this state in possession of a firearm authorized for concealed or unconcealed carry upon the authority and license of another state is authorized to continue to carry a concealed or unconcealed firearm and license in this state; provided the license from the other state remains valid. The firearm must either be carried unconcealed or concealed from detection and view, and upon coming in contact with any peace officer of this state, the person must disclose the fact that he or she is in possession of a concealed or unconcealed firearm pursuant to a valid concealed or unconcealed carry weapons permit or license issued in another state. Any person who is twenty-one (21) years of age or older having a valid firearm license from another state may apply for a handgun license in this state immediately upon establishing a residence in this state.

Despite Texas being known far and wide as a "gun friendly state"? In fact, I think a lot of people are surprised that Texas DOESN'T have open carry. Some things work well with the "go slow" approach, but sometimes its like ripping off that bandaid...you just have to go for it, IMO.

No, I am saying that no matter what state you live in you will have areas that are gun friendly and those that aren't. Missouri has ALWAYS had open carry and if you walk into a city with it on your hip, even where it's not illegal, you are likely to get the police called on you. Here is an example of an occurrence in St. Charles, MO where it has never been illegal to carry openly

It will happen in Oklahoma too. Some people will not understand the issue, and until they are educated they will be making calls to 911.

Are visitors allowed to take advantage? If so, I might just take the 40 minute drive across the border to see what freedom really feels like.

Also is the California one correct? Open carry allowed in unincorporated areas? Something sounds wrong there.
