One of the few reservations I have about the issue is that there would be an uninformed "expectation" that someone who doesn't know you, would "assume" you would intervene in a situation, just because they see a "gun"...
It could be a very uncomfortable situation to be put into...
But...As always, I look to the other states that have this provision, and I have just not seen a thing anywhere where there has been "expectations" or "assumptions" by the non-carrying citizenry...
A reminder...Those other states have either had the open carry provision all along or not...We are among those who do not...No state that I know of have been successful in passing a law that would change their status to allow this to become a choice...
BTW, I am still thinking we'd get a pass in some future session to allow us to store our firearms in a courthouse, before we'd get an open carry deal...

Not to mention that if you ran the numbers...Rough numbers from memory...
That its about 1% of the 250,000 or so CHL'ers in the State of Texas that would support, or not fight against, an open carry provision added into the law...Whenever it would be introduced...
Its not a big issue to the masses, of the few, here in Texas that have obtained the certification...
I threw this together based upon the average texasCHLforum.com membership that was about 60/40 split on the issue...60 being for the idea...(on this website)
Like most here agree, what we have going on this session is pretty darn good...Coupling what was accomplished from 2005...We've been fortunate...
