Did you want someone to point and say "Oh look! You have a gun." If you carry to get a reaction, then you carry for the wrong reason. NOT carrying to get a 'reaction', just saying I will carry in my normal mode (shoulder rig...due to a shoulder injury) and report any reactions (or lack thereof). For information's sake only. K?

I've been thinking and that's usually not good so here goes . . . Maybe we should all show our guns for a while here and there so that the general public gets used to it, sees that we are embracing our returned right and that there are more of us than they may have known about. Not saying always and everywhere but on occasion and in moderation.

If they see my gun...it's too late. They'll have to take up open carry with their maker.

None yet. But I haven't been anywhere that someone might prefer OC over concealed.

I just wish I could have a cold beer in my car when I drive down the road......... Is that not what the new open carry law allows?

I haven't seen anyone open carrying. Me either. Come to think of it, I've never noticed anyone concealed carry either.

I don't give a damn what you do as long as you are not acting like a knucklehead and causing a scene. Wanna open carry, fine. I love guns. Your actions & behavior is what matters to me. Mind your own business, I'll mind mine, we're good. Act like a pendejo you'll get treated like one.

Open carry has been legal in New Mexico for some time, I was at a burger king a while back and a guy was carrying a Ruger super Blackhawk in 44 Mag. I felt pretty safe eating my whopper.

Good people are staying with conceal carry mostly, this is the way to go in my opinion.

I was going to a movie last Saturday night with my family and was CC. Got to the front, saw a 30.07 sign and said to my wife, I have to go back to the car. Then I realized that there was no 30.06 sign so I was good to go.

I've only seeing people care less about printing and such. For example, I went to lunch today and saw four guys hop out of a SUV, and every one of them was printing very clearly. I could even tell generally what they were carrying, and whether they had a spare mag or not.
Don't know if they'd just taken off from shooting or what, but it's something I haven't seen around town before.

Discrete people will stick with CC, my opinion!
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect.

Just like the anti-gunning Democrats that said there would be a blood bath when concealed carry became easier to get, we get to see the anti-gun Democrats proven wrong again about another minor change in the gun laws.

saw a scooter rider with a glock on his hip at IHOP . why would anyone rob a 7-11, do they have more than $20.00 in the register. I would be real scared of that guy must have some mental probs.
when the going gets really tough, I sit down and rest

I saw my first one yesterday evening in Frisco. Some douche had it showing on his side, He could of easily pulled his shirt down and hid it.
He was wearing button down shirt and shorts,
I really see no reason for the general public to wear a handgun exposed in public, Now if he was on his way to hunt and had it on I could see it.

I saw my first one yesterday evening in Frisco. Some douche had it showing on his side, So any person choosing to open carry is a "douche" in your mind? Wow...! he could of easily pulled his shirt down and hid it. Why would he? He was wearing button down shirt and shorts, Nobody cares what he was wearing, why does this matter? I really see no reason for the general public to wear a handgun exposed in public, Really, I'd like to hear some of those reasons. Now if he was on his way to hunt and had it on I could see it. Are you of the mind that the Second Amendment or Texas Gun Laws are about hunting?

Did he just really say all that ....WOW This is why we have such a hard time getting things passed is because of this type of thought I carry all the time and never really think about if it's covered or not and i have that right to and for some to say i'm a douche for doing that just tells me they may not need to even carry if that their mind thought
