I'd also like to see the stats, if any, on states that were concealed carry at first then went to open carry. The states I know of were always open carry and they both have fewer restrictions than TX.
I'll add this for some of you who are against the idea. I would like the option of wearing a shoulder rig and coat and being able to take off my coat at the local eatery without breaking the law. I think it would be very hard for some one to reach acrossed me and remove my weapon without getting a fork in the eye!
My parents live in IN, open carry is legal, license is cheap and easy to get. I have never seen anyone carrying! I like the idea of open carry just to get rid of the printing laws.
