This is the single most important paragraph regarding open carry legislation I've read so far.Charles L. Cotton wrote: If any other changes are made to TPC §30.06, gun owners will not be better off. No one truly appreciated how big the "big ugly sign" would be and none of us want a return to much smaller, less intrusive perhaps even generic signs. People who were here in 1995 and who were interested in CHL will remember the flood of small, generic no-gun decals popping up on doors all over the State. If we open up TPC §30.06 to amendment, gun owners aren't going to like the change.
Chas.
We're very fortunate 30.06 is large and very specific. You know those "gun buster" signs we all laugh at? Pay attention to those next time you're out and about and decide if you're willing to trade not carrying into any place with a gun busters sign to get open carry passed. I'm afraid that might be the compromise we're forced to make if we decide open carry is so important this year.
