Re: My view on open carry

I put this on another site and will put it here as well


Well it is almost here. It will soon be legal to open carry with a CHL/LTC. There are going to be some growing pains on both sides of this issue. The media nationally is in a tizzy with reports on their news shows and are just waiting to see what will take place between citizens and law enforcement and open carriers. It is almost like they want adversial events to take place.

I know many are upset that Constitutional carry wasn't allowed. This is a start and I am sure that many legislators are watching what will be happening at the get go with open carry. Let me encourage those that are going to be open carrying at 12:01, take the high road with each encounter and be as nice and cordial as you possibly can. After the first couple weeks a lot of the newness will have passed and other issues will be at the forefront of the press's stories if there have been very few confrontations.

I truly feel if it becomes a non-event like it has been in the other states, we will have a MUCH better chance of getting Constitutional carry with the next legislative session. Our actions will also affect business owner's thoughts and they will be pleased if they did not post 30.07 and had no arguments between their customers.

Texas is always has a allure about it and this could continue that position.

Y'all be safe and have a great new year.
