Get these people to crawl back under their rocks and OC just might have a chance.
:iagree: Stated slightly differently than my response, but IMO true. ;-)
I also agree with him if he's referring to the "Starbucks appreciation" types who create public spectacle and frighten those we're trying to win over.

Re: Why exactly does Texas not have open carry?

Perhaps Texas is just more honest in that open carry in many states where it's legal in theory but rarely practical in reality, such as in California.

Why exactly does Texas not have open carry?

Given the state's otherwise pro-gun climate and the fact that many more anti states allow open carry (at least in theory), it makes no sense at all that Texas forbids it.

I'm sure there are many ongoing discussions about this, so my apologies for any duplication.
