LMAO!! Well I for one would not open carry and would prefer keeping it concealed so the bad guys can't tell if I'm armed or not. I've read to many stories of people open carrying being targeted by criminals at gun point.Originally posted by YALE View PostDon't put that evil on us, Ricky Bobby!

I believe this is pure house and senate legislation, not up for popular vote. Regardless, what Denny said holds true, too.Originally posted by John -- '02 HAWK View Postif it has to goto public vote I dont think it would pass. Especially seeing how much Bloomberg interfered in Wa and Co
And this is one of those things I wouldn't do, but I want the freedom to do so if I want."Self-government won't work without self-discipline." - Paul Harvey

Major mistake made by this guy and I'll chalk it up to inexperience and being young. It was 2:30am and someone walked up to him on the street. Red light! This guy probably would have been robbed regardless if he was open carrying or not. But certainly open carrying I'm thinking he was targeted.Newser) – A man openly touting his brand-new handgun in Oregon—an open-carry state—had the weapon stolen from him at gunpoint at about 2:30am Saturday, the Oregonian reports via Mediaite. Police say William Coleman, 21, was hanging with his cousin on a street in Gresham when a young man walked up asking for a cigarette. The visitor inquired about the new gun, a black Walther P22 semi-automatic, then pulled a gun of his own. "I like your gun," he says. "Give it to me." Coleman reportedly concurred, and the guy ran off. Police are now looking for a 6' 1" man with wavy hair, a small goatee, "and a trickster spirit," quips Mediaite. Coleman's Walther probably ran him about $380, CBS News notes.

I'm all for it passing because its one more bill aimed at LESS gun control...but I myself have no need or desire to open carry and make myself a target not only for the unlikely "being the first target of some psycho wanting to kill people" idea...but more realistically......a LOT of people will flip out at the sight of a gun in most places in Texas which will result in a LOT of dumb police calls for no reason...I don't wish to be harassed and questioned by law enforcement for not doing anything illegal because some people can't handle seeing the sight of a gun on a law abiding person.
