FRiend, have you been living under a rock since January 1, 2016?

In (at least) two separate posts, you referred to "...It will be the same with open carry when it happens." or "When open carry passes, it will be a mute issue..."

Are you actually unaware that Texas has had Legal Open Carry since January 1, 2016?

http://www.dps.texas.gov/RSD/CHL/Legal/newlegislation.htm

Open Carry

House Bill 910 Effective: January 1, 2016

Caption: Relating to the authority of a person who is licensed to carry a handgun to openly carry a holstered handgun; creating criminal offense.

General information:

Authorizes individuals to obtain a license to openly carry a handgun in the same places that allow the licensed carrying of a concealed handgun with some exceptions. (See “Exceptions” below for more information.)

Unconcealed handguns, loaded or unloaded, must be carried in a shoulder or belt holster.

Individuals who hold a valid CHL may continue to carry with valid existing license.

A separate license will not be required to open carry. No additional fee will be required.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Do you actually reside (and carry) here in God's Country?

FYI, I also find this to be informative:

I chose the wrong word. Sorry. What I meant to say was Constitutional Carry.

And yes, I probably made the same mistake twice (at least).

I lived in NM for many year, at the time they did not, but now they have Constitutional Carry. I have been watching how that worked out, not a bump in the road. There were some public gatherings where many exercised the right to carry. The newspapers covered it. (very dangerous, because of their expected distortion)

Thanks

What happened? Nothing. And the press soon tired of even covering the subject.
