Texas and other “open carry” states allow people to carry guns unless directed by owners of private property to put them away.

They don’t even know what open carry means.
Texas does not allow open carry.
For being a ‘pro-gun’ state, Texas has a lot of goofy gun laws.
IIRC,TX is where this Target silliness started. IIRC, TX doesn’t allow open pistol carry, but does allow open long gun carry.

I have issues with “Open Carry” as it will give a gun man an intial target. Also I have issues with Open Carry being used as a substitute for Concealed Carry. I have big issues with needing a permit for concealed carry.
I would much rather have concealed carry without a permit as it shouldn’t be up to the government to tell you how to carry your protection on you.
I would rather the people with guns with ill intent not have any idea who might be armed, they may be pointing a gun at the clerk and not notice the little old lady who just pulled a snub 38 out of her purse and has it pointed at his head.
But I will take Open Carry when I can get it.
Not sidearms but what about long guns?
