I am surprised however Chas, that 44 other states already have Open Carry options, with only 13 of those states requiring Licensed open carry. Why are we stuck with California, Florida, South Carolina, New York, and Illinois? (My numbers may be off, as my last print out of this information is over a year old, but it still represents my argument.)

What is it specifically that has kept our great state of Texas, from achieving this? Aside from a broad answer, I am very curious about this. There are just six states prohibiting Open Carry, and I believe there are more prohibiting concealed carry if I recall correctly. I have been under the impression that there is plenty of movement across the nation to gain reasoning from to push open carry through in the past, and it is still just up in the air now of course. Could you provide some helpful insight into what has been the main barrier in this Chas? I'm just looking to further my own knowledge on this topic.

Thank you.

Mmmm so you're saying we can open carry in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Massachusetts, and Michigan? Sure you can...You can't even own a gun in New Jersey, much less OC it. Connecticut with some of the most stringent bans in the Union, permits OC? Prove it, and no if the lasw is silent but you can't own the firearms in the first place, its irrelevant.

I can't speak for all of those states, but I have OC'd in PA within the last year.

Did you OC in Pittsburgh? this is not an attack. It is a question as I cannot see someone OCing in Pittsburgh without sucking pavement pretty quickly.
