The predicted bloodbath did not occur when Texas authorized open carry. I have yet to see an instance, though I do not get out much.

have to agree with you, since Constitutional carry was started here is Maine, I've failed to see the blood in the streets that the liberal rags here said would happen.

Both open and concealed carry without a permit is legal in Vermont. It has one of the lowest murder rates of all the states.

When Texas proposed the CHL, the media drones predicted a bloodbath. When Texas proposed open carry, again a bloodbath was predicted. Didn’t happen. In fact, after Hurricane Ike, the drones asked Governor Perry about looting in Galveston county. The head of the DPS spoke up to let them know that there was no looting in that county.
At the time, Galveston County had the highest per capita of CHL licensees. Go figure.

Also, when seconds count, law enforcement is only minutes away.
