The laws could stay the same for concealed carry and just a simple "gunbusters" sign could be used to ban open carry in an establishment. Makes concealed carriers happy because most places will not post a proper 30.06 sign and open carriers would finally be allowed to open carry in Texas even if we would be stopped by "gunbuster" signs.
It's a compromise. I'd be afraid that too many places would post proper 30.06 signs banning both open and concealed carry. If they were to post a gunbuster, at least one could still conceal carry. Later, after it's proved that we're not killing each other over parking spaces, we could lobby to loosen the laws up further.
