Sheesh. What is with all the second amendment hate here? I carry open on occasion and concealed all the time. I like to have options. It is rallies like this that are making it safe to carry concealed. How you ask? Because in places where no one ever sees a gun they freak out if you accidentally show your concealed carry piece. Accidents can happen it is not cool to have the cops storm in and gun you down. In places with open carry people are use to seeing ordinary citizens with guns. I see them all the time around here and I find it comforting. Not everyone wants to ask for permission to exercise a right. And don’t give me any of that blah blah concealed is better. Sure it is... so is walking around in body armor but not every ‘better’ option is always practical. I like having options and I am sick and tired of so-called allies telling me which options I should and shouldn’t use. Yall and the ATF and all the other haters can buzz off.

As a daily CC I agree, but in this case, you've got the public opinion now turning to focus on banning long gun open carry (legal today) instead of supporting handgun open carry. I believe the 2nd amendment makes all carry legal, but I can assure you, in Texas, if you open carry a handgun in public, you will be arrested, prosecuted and convicted.

If the outcome of this is Texans banning long guns then I think it is time to just abandon the state as a total loss.
