Licensed open carry or unlicensed carry ?

[marktwain]

The two bills filed so far are one for licensed open carry, and one for Constitutional carry similar to what Arizona has.

In that system, no license is required to carry open or concealed, but a concealed carry licence is available for the purposes of reciprocity and the purchase of firearms without an extra background check.

Open carry with no license from what I understand.

Traditionally, “Constitutional Carry” meant anyone can carry openly, but only licensed people can carry concealed, in that it was considered a sneaky and ungentlemanly thing to do.

Such was the law in most of the USA until 1930s or so.

Obviously, private businesses should be able to set their own rules, but that’s a good way to lose business in Texas.

I want Constitutional carry. And when it gets here, I will open carry, because concealed is too much of a PITA for a little guy like me. In this weather, not so bad, but forget summertime.

you don’t need a revokeable govt privilege card if you have constitutional carry.
