2 years later and open carry is pretty much a ho-hum, who cares? A few authoritarian lefties got their panties in a bunch and nothing else really happened. Yup....shootouts on main street at high noon didn't happen....so much for it being the wild west.....

There is no logical reason for a civilian to openly carry a handgun. I wear a suit and tie to work everyday, on way home I will stop by the store to run an errand. I do not put my jacket back on because of the heat. So I feel this is a logical reason to OC. I am not going to untuck my shirt just to cover it up. Carry on.

They said the same thing was going to happen when concealed carry was passed....campus carry as well.

There is no logical reason for a civilian to openly carry a handgun. Are you a civilian? Yes. Let me restate. No logical reason for a civilian to open carry while in town. Wife and I both open carry when we're on the ranch N of Laredo. Rattlesnakes and such.

Yup, 2nd amendment, even though our state enacted approval Some people just do not get it. But then again....opinions are like....

Actually I think he would make an excellent Governor of our great State, except for the HF stuff. 😊 He knows real work and what it takes to get there, and is not afraid to excercise his rights whether folks like it or not. Write in ballot. I’ll spell it for you fouzman Good Luck!

I have seen 3 and the first two didn’t bother me. The last one though... Open carry at SWFA in Midlothian and he kept tapping it and looking around as if he wanted someone to say something or he was going to rob the place once a few customers left. Then not an hour later I am grabbing a drink from the gas station and in walks Willy Nilly himself tapping away on his pistol and humming away loudly as if he just scored and life was great.
I have no issue with open carry even though I don’t as I don’t want to give my position away or become the first target of opportunity. But when you do it for attention it becomes an issue and personally a safeless act in my blind eyes.

There is no reason for anyone to own a sports car designed to exceed the speed limit. No reason to own a dog bred to be a fighting breed, etc., etc., Personally, I PREFER concealed carry because if someone sees you have a gun on your hip you could get knocked on the noggin so they can get the gun. BUT...I grew up in a different America. No driver's licenses, no licenses for this or that. Most land not posted. I still cannot get used to living in a regulated society. Back then a lot of towns had a gun check law. Okay to carry in the country and not in a city. That's okay. I'll leave them alone if they leave me alone.

I carry both ways. If in a crowded area I prefer concealed. In a more open area I tend to like open carry better. I do have a retention holster, but I am always watching people and never allow someone near my back when I am open carrying. No one will get within a few feet of my back when I carry open. I do train a lot in more than a few martial arts so I know I can deal with most people in empty hand skills.
