Yup. We had a really interesting discussion here on the forum a few months back about when open carry ban laws were enacted here in Texas. I wish I could find it.Keith B wrote:Open carry has been outlawed since the late 1800's and they were concerned about gun fights in town. While a lot of people believe the movies and that cowboys wandered around town with their six-shooters on their hips back then, most towns required you to turn in your guns when you entered, and retrieve them when you left.
