In three months, gun owners with a concealed handgun license will be able to openly carry in the state of Texas.

Many North Texas gun ranges say they are doubling their education courses before the law goes into effect.

At the Eagle Gun Range in Lewisville, they are just starting to see a small uptick in concealed handgun license classes.

"It is a big change to openly carry. You don't want to make a mistake," said Eagle Gun Range president David Prince.

Prince is adding classes so that people fully understand the new law.

"We are putting on seminars at least once a month now. We are probably on going to go to twice a month since it's getting closer to Jan. 1," he said.

A big change in the new law requires a business to have two signs if the owner wants to prohibit guns. Right now, a business owner needs one sign, in both English and Spanish, telling patrons that concealed carry guns are not allowed....

Gunman: “Are you a Christian?”

Texan: “Yes. And as you can see by the 13 guns pointed at your head, we have elected for you to be the one here to give our greetings to Jehovah if you dont drop it.”

Gunman: “Knew I should have picked a blue state.”

I’ll be open carrying selectively. Summers are just too hot here to wear a concealment garment.

Agree ..... btw new additional signs for open carry 30.07 in addition to 30.06 could be fun. Find every silly store or shop in you area that DOESNT have the new 30.07 sign but only the 30.06 sign . Open carry an enter and watch their heads explode..... if yer bored on a weekday kind of fun !! 30.06 only addresses the CONCEALED handgun....:o)

I don’t want to deliberately provoke. But if someone balks who’s not in compliance, tough!

When I was a pampered and licensed sheep dipped contractor to an alphabet agency I was assigned to an office in Jamaica Queens up on Hillside. Used to walk to lunch in summer without my jacket to hide my holstered Sig Sauer P220 ..... never got bothered. Seems a gun in NYC is same as a badge to the sheeple there .... never got bothered . Even the uniform cops let me be.....

You do know a Seecamp .32 will ride just fine in the bottom of a starbucks cup...:o)

One Presidential Candidate has a stated “gun policy” paper...Universal Concealed Carry.

If you have a concealed carry permit in your state...You are Good to Go in All the States.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-releases-position-paper-on-gun-policies/
Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump on Friday released a policiy paper on gun policies
that endorses a nationwide right to carry concealed weapons(just as he has a permit to carry).

Another Candidate for President has won several U.S. Supreme Court Cases

defending our 2nd Amendment Rights.

How can handguns be openly carried?

Use a holster. Under Texas Penal Code 46.15(b) (6), a person carrying a valid CHL may carry a handgun either in a concealed manner or in a shoulder or belt holster. Under these new provisions, if the handgun is carried any other way, a person would be unlawfully carrying the handgun.

FYI. I have seen some discussions on some gun forums as to what constitutes a belt holster and that a 'clip-on' or 'paddle' style holster are not 'attached' to the belt and subject to interpretation by LE.

Open carry has always been the law in the state of Washington, but the citizens at the time had a healthy distrust of government.

Why would there need to be a second sign in Spanish?

Foreigners are prohibited from possessing firearms by law.

I don’t like that they limit open carry to only those who have a CCW. When I was in Colorado open carry was for anyone.
