I, also, have a TX CHL. However, I want open carry legalized here so that I don't have to remember to slip on a jacket or overshirt every time I step outside my home or auto. And I definitely want to repeal the idea that if your piece "prints through" or is inadvertently exposed, you are no longer "carrying concealed" and are at risk of arrest.

Tactically, I prefer and recommend concealment. However, I frequently "do my thing" with my empty P7 holster openly displayed on my belt (and with a well-concealed backup). If anyone comments, I say,

"I didn't feel like covering up, but, out of courtesy, I secured my piece elsewhere. Don't let a little hunk of leather bother you..."

That gets across the point that I know and exercise my rights -- responsibly -- and helps get others used to the idea...

I accept no infringement on my Second Amendment rights. I consider the holster display to be "Civil Defiance", rather than outright "Civil Disobedience" as a protest of the current unreasonable infringement.

Yes! It seems so out of place that Texas has some of the most antiquated gun laws and yet seems to be so far ahead of most states in other gun laws...
