Open carrying 8 3/8 S&W model 29.
Anyone got links to where we can contact our reps?
Actually, that is every other year, as the Texas Legislature only meets biennially.An Open Carry bill (as well as a campus carry bill) are introduced almost every year in the Texas state legislature, but go nowhere.
Doesn't seem to be a problem here in Tucson, or in Phoenix or Salt Lake.In the city. firearms are pretty taboo, and open carry would cause a panic to be honest.
But in small towns that I've vited and anywhere in the Texas Hill country were guns are a part of life, no one has a problem with them.
Maybe I oughtta move back to Kerrville.........
Yeah, Constitutional Rights should only be exercised covertly, or you aren't responsible.what's so great about OC ? I fail to see the benefits... people freak out, gun grabbers are encouraged and the bad guy knows EXACTLY who has a gun and who hasn't.
even more : if you do not have the commitment and make the effort to properly conceal and carry a gun... maybe you shouldn't be carrying at all? this is not Tombstone where you put the biggest gun you can find onto your belt holster...
The only good thing about OC is that "printing" is not an issue. But even in WA State when hiking most people try to conceal their guns somewhat... every time you have OC you have some dude walking a long a busy highway with his gun in plain visibility and filming it for youtube... just to wait for cops stopping him
Sec. 46.15.
(b) Section 46.02 does not apply to a person who:
(4) is engaging in lawful hunting, fishing, or other sporting activity on the immediate premises where the activity is conducted, or is en route between the premises and the actor's residence, if the weapon is a type commonly used in the activity;
Oh I hope this one passes. Not so much because I want to open carry, but because I don't want to worry about it being 100% concealed 100% of the time..
It's my understanding you don't have to worry about printing any more. I thought they relaxed the restrictions a couple years ago.
