Re: How to "desensitize" a town for Open Carry?

I had another idea about "desensitizing" the locals to open carry.

I'm thinking of finding others that want to open carry and getting a restaurant to approve of a few of us having lunch there once a week. Maybe more than one. This way non carriers would see citizens carrying and not being a threat.

Re: How to "desensitize" a town for Open Carry?

I agree with all of the above.

i am normally VERY anti "CHL Badge". We've all seen them offered on the internet.

I wonder how well these would be accepted if they were mounted on your OWB Holster.
Now I'm just thinking out loud here so please be constructive.
The first thing someone is going to notice is a holstered firearm.
What if they saw a CHL Badge attached?

What do you think? Good or Bad?
I am asking all of this because in AZ OC is no big deal.
In other states where it's allowed you can still catch heat from LEO's.
My thoughts here (and the goal may not be obtainable) is to make Texans feel comfortable.

The new LTC "Licensed to Carry"might be a "anxiety reliever"
Just thinking.

How to "desensitize" a town for Open Carry?

Jan 1 2016 Texans will be able to openly carry sidearms.
However in some towns local LE will have a problem with this as change never comes easy.

Wearing a firearm can get you arrested for other charges (or have in some towns)

So I'm thinking of ways to "desensitize" the local community establishments so that a MWAG call isn't made every time a legal CHL holder follows the law.

Any thoughts?
