According to my info open carry is OK in all the other 3 states, also no problems in eating establishments that sever alcohol so I should be good.

Save travels and fair winds. Be careful out there.

My parents are still up in KS outside of Lawrence and I visit a couple times a year. When I'm up there in the summer I sometimes like to go around and show my daughter old houses and some of my old haunts. We lived in Olathe from '74-79. It sure has changed a bunch. Before there we lived in Roeland Park and my old elementary school there is gone. All the houses we lived in are still there when I checked last year.

I haven't been stopped while driving through OK or KS, but then I set my cruise control on or no more than 1 mph over the limit and enjoy the trip and view.

The same with Kansas.

Be mindful of schools. While the GFSZA is usually an add-on after something else has happened and the constitutionality of the law in general has been questioned or possibly nullified, it is still in place and your Texas CHL/LTC will not protect you in another state. It's just something to keep in mind.

I've OCed in both states without any issues. Mostly just driving through OK. My final destination is usually the Topeka/Lawrence area where I've also OCed into several locations also without issues.
