Open carry is a political act. It shouts out that the government has limits imposed by the Constitution. It declares that the individual has rights and power.

That is why it is so hated by "progressives".

AND why it is so hated by every government employee - especially those who are armed. It shows a limitation to their power over you.

Sadly, I will have to go without my CCW until the bureaucracy is satisfied for a few weeks while my CCW is renewed.

I will be open carrying for the first time during this period.

I wish there was a grace period. I tried to do it sooner, but the lady at the sheriff’s office said I was too early. She said that renewals have barely any wait times, unlike new CCW applicants.

He was profiled ... in a good way. Older white guy out for a run. Now if he was running open carry dragging a heavy bag with Sunbelt Savings and Loan slapped across it, and alarms going off a block behind, his age and complexion wouldn’t have mattered quite as much.

I think you might have experienced a transplant cop episode .... we have “texas” cops that are Texans and Texas cops that came here from liberal third world shitty cities. The “transplant cops” being unable to shake off old unconstitutional ways . We had one of such in our small town department ..... he tried to bring “all he ran away from” with him ..... he was run out of town eventually.

Congrats on the new grandchild.

Ugh. Fobus holster. The cheapest piece of shit out there and a liability. Hopefully he’ll learn and get a decent holster. And if you open carry, something with retention (Safariland ALS or similar).

Don’t think I’ve seen anyone open carrying in the Dallas area. I do all the time - the only time I don’t is the several places that have 30.07 signs and bars (have gotten some funny looks, but that’s about it).
