As it is now, alot of folks have no clue about what's required to prohibit legal carry (30.06) and alot of folks don't even have a clue that Texas has the CHL...with open carry, pretty much everyone would know...and quickly. Just my "small-brain" thoughts for the day.
That is my concern as well. I have yet to see a 30.06 sign in the Sherman/Denison area. I would hate to see that change because Susie sees a gun and gets her panties in a wad.
OTOH, I like the idea of OC simply because it would make life easier. Hang it OWB under a shirt and if it shows, it shows. No fault, no foul. Hopefully when people start seeing guns on a regular basis they will stop paying attention to them.
Regardless I’ll support any change in the law that furthers our gun rights.
