At least one other licensed open-carry bill will be filed and possibly another unlicensed open-carry bill. The licensed open-carry bill will be fine and it will be supported by NRA, TSRA and TFC. Something else has been drafted as a lifeboat, but I can't say more. There's no reason to file a different unlicensed open-carry bill if there's no chance such a bill would pass.

I don't know if Stickland would amend HB195, or if he'll even get the opportunity. If it is really an OCT/NAGR bill as OCT claims, then they should be pushing for a committee substitute. Again, HB195 may never have the opportunity for a committee substitute.

Chas.
I have one question, if we got CHL + option to open carry, then 30.06 will still be enforceable on those who open carry or concealed carry. So, if someone is open carry and did not enter a business, if the business do not like that, they would post a valid 30.06 and ban all of us CHLers from entering their business.
What is the plan for this issue? I think we would have to trust the CHLers not to open carry when going to shop in private businesses.
