Re: TX rep to author OC

To play Devil's advocate:

Why not let them incorporate it into the 30.06 sign? How many places currently get it right? Few.
All the reports of places that allow OC say you almost never see it, so how many shop owners would be faced with the realization that their signs weren't effective? Fewer still.
Most police officers are completely unaware of the intricacies of CC. There are almost no court cases that have worked through the ambiguities because no one is getting arrested, so it is being handled at the local level just fine without complaint. So how many police would arrest and shop owners would press charges and DAs would prosecute when they could continue doing what they're doing now which is getting little to no court action?

My guess is that not much would change at all except the current CHL holders would be able to OC in more rural areas where it wouldn't be problematic and they wouldn't be as concerned with printing or the wind blowing their cover garments around.

On the other hand, if it wouldn't change much, would it be wise to waste all the time and money on fighting that fight to get it passed to make such a small impact when there are other things much bigger that will have much wider impact and will significantly increase who can carry and where they can do so? Probably not.
