Re: Poll: Do you support open-carry in Texas?

I would support either the licenced or unlicenced carry, assuming the person carrying isnt prohibited due to criminal activity. I have to support it, as I am a firm believer in the Second Ammendment. Personally, I wouldnt carry in the open, rather I would continue to be concealed. In states where open carry is legal, I havent heard of any problems. I dont see where we would have any here in Texas either. I remember when the legislature was debating CHL and some were saying that the streets would be be rivers of blood if it passed, and it didnt come true. Responsible, law abiding citizens in my opinion should be able to make their own choice about how they carry.
Also, and I know it goes a little against what I just said, Im a little bit leary of people who are not licensed carrying a weapon either concealed or not, only because I can imagine people who know little about firearms going to a store and buying a gun and holster and strapping it on without some kind of training. That would only lead to problems in my opinion. You should have at least a basic knowledge of your choice of firearm and the laws concerning its use. Why give the Brady Bunch any fodder to chew on?
