I have seen one, in Brady. Looked like he just came from the ranch. And no one freaked out...

A friend saw one in Dairy Queen right after it passed. He didn't watch the OC guy, he watched for reactions from everyone else. Nobody cared at all and didn't pay him any special attention. I think people in Central Texas are used to having or seeing hip holsters while on the ranches so it's not a big deal to them. Lot different than close to the major cities.

Saw my first at Chick Fil A in Sherman today. Well dressed Vet with a Korean War Veteran hat. Very nice 1911 too. I thanked him for his service as he walked by and he went on his way.

2 separate sighting for me. Both looked like chubby mall cops, but weren't mall copping at the time I saw them. They were shopping with their family.

This forum is still on-line? It has been a year since this law came into effect and the world has not ended as we know it? Next thing I am going to be told is Trump is my President!

This post gives me a warm fuzzy feeling

One. I remember the SJWs telling me they wouldn't be able to go to the store anymore and feel safe...

Shocking isn't it. As usual the fear mongers failed with an agenda that most logical people knew was misguided. I laugh on a daily basis when I hear about people feeling unsafe around people open carrying. I try to remind them that it is almost a guarantee daily they run into someone who is carrying concealed and nothing happens but they would rather stick their head in the sand than face facts.

Zero have I seen, even though I have open carried walking from motel to truck going to deer lease. But other than that, I always have a jacket/windbreaker over my glock. No one in the La Quinta ever said a word if they even noticed.

I've seen two. One made a quick dash from his truck to the store to pay for gas and the other in front of Walmart strutting around with a nickle Colt 1911 with fake ivory grips and some kind of gold emblem in the grip. No thumb strap and riding so far back behind the hip he couldn't protect it if he had to.

I have open carried twice... Both times as seedy gas stations. I shouldn't have stopped at either but i really needed gas and didn"t see any other options. I really don't think anyone saw or noticed me or my sidearm.

Saw a couple in Canton a couple weeks ago....both low key with an open jacket over OWB holsters......older men....

Nobody does it except attention-seekers. The law was unnecessary to start with.

Have to agree. Attention is the last thing I want, not much advantage in it. Watched a video the other day of a man of a man standing in line and a guy come up from behind and grabbed his pistol and ran out the door.

I will raise you one and say that there is NO advantage to that kind of attention in a city. But we all know that a concealed weapon can have many advantages.

Growing up on a ranch in Northern California when open carry was legal and commonplace, I never understood overly strong reactions to it.

I have seen 1 at walmart.

Saw my first today.

Just saw my second. In Wal Mart. Tacticool doob carrying a Hi-Point. How do I know? He was actually wearing a Hi-Point tee shirt. I think it said "I'm carrying a Hi-Point" or "My pistol is a Hi-Point" on the front.

I'm not joking.

Was the mirror clean or did it have a lot of streaks from when they cleaned it.......

They can get kind of complacent when cleaning the bathroom mirrors......

The only real advantage to the law is that if you are strapped and you accidentally expose your gun you won't get in trouble now. Before you might have.

Saw a guy on a road bike @ White Rock Lake in the full spandex kit roll by with a pistol on his hip the other day.

Most folks are too smart to play their cards face up

I have on a couple of occasions carried semi open when travelling thru bad neighborhoods...Like Dallas.
I will wear it outside but cover it with my tee-shirt. If anyone ever noticed I never caught a reaction.

I saw a truck driver at the Loves truck stop in Hearne a few days ago.....walking around with some plastic gun (probably a glock) in a simple leather belt holster...kinda like the ones cowboys used with ZERO retention! I just shook my head....begging for someone to walk up behind him and ease it out....and walk away...

The way he was strutting around in there I figure he was all about the show anyway....maybe he is a quick-draw expert...

Only the second one I've seen....
