^ explain please.
That's why pocket carry and Hawaiian shirts were invented.It just so happens probably close to the 2 hottest states in the union you have to throw a coat or something over your carry piece.
why would you want to open carry anyway? Is it that hard to get a CC permit in Texas?
Can anyone please provide a link to the mythical"the bad guy will take his gun if he open carrys incedent". I know others have asked before but I have yet to see one verifiable instance.
With a witness or even better, a security cam, he should have an interesting time defending himself. What you thought they get to just point a gun at you with out a reasonable belief that he was defending himself or another person? So why didn't he arrest you? No reason maybe? Exactly!
Centreville-area man robbed of handgun
A 21-year-old Centreville-area man was robbed while walking on Newton Patent Drive in Centreville, Fairfax County Police said.
About 4:10 a.m. Sunday, two suspects approached the victim from behind, and placed a metal object up to his head, said police.
The robbers took the man's handgun, which he was openly carrying, and ran away. He was not injured.
The only reason I'd want an OC law passed is so that I can be at Big Bend National Park openly carrying a .357mag or if I'm out at a small town ranch community etc. But to OC in Houston or Dallas etc is bogus imo.

I believe you are just using Big Bend as an example, but you can not OC or CC in a national park.
I understand the meaning of your post.
Funny, I thought the 2A said no infringement, but after all the national parks are federal property.

So far as I know, I never adopted anyone on this board. And no one has adopted me. So if anyone wants to carry -- any way he pleases -- that's his damn' business. And if I want to carry -- any way I please -- that's none of his damn' business.
And if it was a "problem," whose business is it? Let each of us assume what risks he chooses -- lest we all wind up held in a big play pen where we can't hurt ourselves.Also, for those of who who think that open carry is an invitation to "getting capped" first by the BG, that is neither my experience nor something that has ever been seen to be a problem in my neck of the woods (or, rather, corner of the desert).
