This 'if you're not with me, yore against me' attitude is the problem. You and many of the open carry advocates expect the TSRA AND NRA to jump fully on board with your specific agenda and ignore other pro-gun legislation.

That's almost exactly what the people who dislike the TSRA say about them. Have we gone so far that the sides can't discuss how to cooperate and just tell each other to stop talking when they see each other?

I think you need to reconsider your concept of "legitimate". The LSCDL started because the TSRA refused to take significant action for years, and as an alternative to their well publicized (if publicly denied) hostility to open carry. So, want to talk about legitimate, look to the group that was associated with actual legislation in key areas.

I'm not putting up with one more post falsely claiming TSRA or NRA doing anything to oppose open-carry. It not true and don't do it again.

Chas.

Last time I asked, I was told by the TSRA that there is no support for open carry and they will continue working their agenda instead. That sounds like opposition to me.

The only posts I've seen from you on it are negative, how it will never be passed, or how you can't do it this way or that way. I can't recall a single constructive comment you've made on it. Could you show me any?

So why does it have to be licensed? Why not either define traveling in 46.01 as not being on property you own or control? Or, even better, add "concealed" in front of handgun in 46.02? Unlicensed open carry, licensed concealed carry.
