I've seen close to a dozen here in Abilene
I OC quite a bit now that its warmer and I can wear just a tee shirt and I tuck the shirt between the gun and my hip because otherwise it rubs my skin and gets sweaty
I had one bad experiance with a jerk in Lowes making a comment about him being retired law enforcment and that not everyone should be open carrying like that
I politely told him to mind his own business and get out of my face
when I got to the check out, he had been ahead of me and the cashier said he had been a jerk to her earlier and she sent him inside for the manager to deal with
so, I just chalked that up to him being an a$$
I should have known he was going to be trouble, be was wearing white pants and a straw fedora
I don't trust anyone dressed like that

I open carry sometimes depending on where I am or wearing. Have yet to have someone approach me and say anything negative. Plenty have stated they support it and feel good knowing someone is legally armed.

Funny that many of us, me included, have seen zero. And I frequent places where you would think they would be common - rural diners, sporting goods shops, etc.

I am still at one, I did see a another cat carrying yesterday at QT.
I saw some plain clothes dude carrying yesterday, but he had a set of handcuff on the other hip so I assume he was either taking it to a new level or he worked in some type of law enforcement. He was acting normal and not looking all around looking for attention.

Saw one Saturday in Canton, dang guy was strutting around like a rooster. Most everyone who saw him just shook their heads and snickered.

I've seen two here in Ponder, Funny thing is one of them I hardly noticed and the other looked liked they were itching for attention. I have no issues with open carry but I definitely prefer to conceal.

I see a few where the top half is concealed carry and the bottom half is open carry. I've seen one that was partially concealed like this. What I like most about open carry, is that I no longer worry about my shirt riding up and revealing my weapon when I am reaching up for something on the top shelf of a store.

I have one friend who open carries, but it is under his shirt and usually just the barrel is showing. The only other person I have seen o/c is another friend who didn't know he had to have an LTC and was thankful I showed him the error of his ways. One store I used to patronize has a 30.06 sign but their 30.07 sign they had fell down and they haven't put it back up. I tried to tell them of the error but they don't care and I stopped shopping there.

Today was my first sighting, coming out of Lowes in Sulphur Springs. He looked about like one of those guys we used to see on the news carrying AKs and ARs in restaurants in Dallas just to prove that they could. He came waddling out the front door proudly toting a 1911 in a leather holster.

Grand total of 3. I actually saw a dude carrying at Central Market on Greenville. I must admit that one was the most shocking.

A local church had an LTC class. There were 4 people (including the instructor and the preacher) open carrying inside and outside the church. That's the only time I have noticed anyone open carrying.
It is far more important to be able to hit the target than it is to haggle over who makes a weapon or who pulls a trigger.

I want to carry my side arm while hunting SHNF. I've never hunted there So I called the number in the public hunting book. The lady said I could not carry unless I had a CCW license. Is this right or is she not applying the law correctly? Thanks. I'm new to the forum and excited to see your thoughts.

That is correct if you don't have a CHL/LTC you can not carry on public land like Corp land
