Lord willing, and with Dewhurst gone, Texas will change soon.

Agree.

All of the states surrounding us allow it...per the map.

I think the ban on open carry in Texas dates to Reconstruction during the late 1860s and ‘70s, when there were many unreconstructed Rebs and outlaws, like John Wesley Hardin, riding the landscape. Back then you had to prove that you were a “traveler” to carry in Texas.

The law against open carry in California is fairly new, but you can still legally open carry a loaded weapon while occupying a campground.

Hawaii’s law may allow open carry with a permit or license but I have not heard of even ONE being issued yet.
