As usual, I'm playing the middle of the debate a bit (my MO in such things), but Conagher that was a VERY well reasoned and well written appeal for OC. your examples of current relevant and worthwhile "uses" for OC even while maintaining general CC are worthy of thought and consideration.
And Mr. Cotton as usual is a steady voice of reason on all gun issues in this state.
I honestly agree with you both in many ways. And I'd like to see all of these issues pursued along with others in 2011.

Re: OK passes open carry & TSRA planning for Texas '11 sessi
Sorry, but I have to question your premise above. Direction quote from the article you linked:SA-TX wrote:OK Legislature passes open carry. Assuming it becomes law, TX will be one of the very few that continues to prohibit it.

So according to the article, Texas is one of 38 other states that DO NOT allow open carry. Don't see how that equals "one of the very few that continues to prohibit it".Ten other states allow residents with handgun permits to openly carry firearms, according to the National Conference on State Legislatures. In Montana, citizens can openly carry a handgun without a permit.
Am I missing something?
