Alabama has been OC forever as far as I know, but permit is needed for concealed carry or carry in a vehicle.

Quoted:
I was recently in Alabama to see relatives. I was in a couple Walmarts and other places. Saw just a handful of people open carrying, I believe it is fairly new to them. I never once saw ANY sign prohibiting any kind of carry. Absolutely nobody freaked out about anybody open carrying(again it was only a handful of people doing so). I will most likely never or hardly ever open carry, for my own reasons. But I have been for that right all along. Just an observation, CSB, carry on thanks for stopping by. Yes but in Texas with open carry up will be down, left will be right, whataburger's will be burnt and dogs will be friends with cats......... Or several say so on this site. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ok maybe I am mistaken. Uncle stated some such. Maybe I got it wrong. I didn't research it. I trusted in him. I know I have never seen anybody open carry anywhere in any of the visits I have made there. This was the first time I saw it. That means nothing though.

I had to live in New Mexico for 20 years and it was open carry the entire time. In the entire twenty years I saw only two or three people that were carrying that were not in the sticks.

Alabama hasn't had the influx of Californians & Yankees that Texas has experienced over the past 35 years. Also, AL doesn't have as many urban areas nor ratio of related population (there's a reason for the marring cousins jokes).
Texas is a very unique state in that we support gun rights but insist they stay in our closets. Just the idea of seeing a weapon in plain view freaks some of us out. There will be ample gnashing of teeth by Jan 1 but it would be awesome seeing some guy walking down the street wearing a cowboy hat & his six shooter. |

No one blinked twice nor gave two shits as long as you weren't in a bar and getting hammered. It's just like concealed carry IMO - there will be news articles for and against it for the first few months, and then everyone will carry on with their regularly scheduled lives. I can't wait for this to cease being a newsworthy topic for our area until 2017 when we go for constitutional carry. |

I THINK there will be a select few that will open carry simply because they can. There will be a few that open carry as part of their cowboy or tac operator costume that day. I hope people don't freak out. Should make for some good pics for the People of Walmart website.

You really missed the mark, most people from California left because high taxes, illegal aliens and B.S. gun laws. The people I've heard bitch and moan about open carry both here and on the radio are native Texans. Remember Texas gave us LBJ the cock sucker that pushed through the '68 Gun Control Act. Even California had CHL before Texas, wasn't till the late 90's the dems FUCKED IT UP!! |

No, I didn't miss the point about the influx of people moving to Texas for a better life only to try to tell us how to do things better and/or try to impose their values from where they grew up. You might be originally from CA but I doubt most Californians share your views about unrestricted gun rights and don't think they left due solely to the gun laws - the other reasons I can confirm. As a Native Texan, I also put blame on our culture and have no love for LBJ or what he stood for. Facts are, many people here that claim to support gun rights are not very excited about seeing folks walking around strapped up. Why do you think it took so long for TX to finally pass a restrictive OC? Thankfully, you're one of the good guys which I'm glad chose to make Texas your home. |

I run into a lot of Californians that are big time into guns, seems like half the people I shoot with are from California. The only reason I even like a HGL is to bypass the NICS check. |

Not making a blanket statement about Californians...But most of the ones I have run into(school functions, church, sporting events, general community) are people who escaped California for the fiscal conservatism. Most have given me cross eyed looks when I invite them to shoot or ask if they partake. I am well aware it would crazy to say that they are all that way. But I have found it to be an area that has to be educated and explored because those I have spoken to still think guns are mostly taboo. But I will say this, most that I have spoken to on the matter, once I have started my broaching of the subject, are like "well we are in Texas now, guess we will have to get used to it".
The one shocker I can remember was when my son was in elementary school we were at a school function. His friends parents were from California. Well when I bring up the subject to them the husband chimes in with "yea but we are from CA" his tiny little soccer mom wife replies, "But I grew up in the country and I shot everything, I am so glad to be in Texas now, will you teach my husband to shoot?" Was not what I expected, I made several invites he always had a reason not to go. |

Realize that being "Pro-Gun" in states like CA, NY, NJ, MA, etc is often "Anti-Gun" In Texas, AZ, etc.
Having talked to many of these folks over the years, many are still in favor of lots of gun control, from NICS, expanded prohibited persons, to carry permits, etc., and are downright hostile to things like machine guns, OC/ConstCarry, etc. Easily ID'd by "I am pro-gun, but..." |

Pretty much agree with you on this. Hoping that this will be a non-issue, just like having a chl is for the most part, in six to nine months after it goes into effect. |

It'll settle out eventually, and most people won't even notice a guy OC'ing after the first year or two. I'm mainly worried about the police response in places like Austin and Houston. Especially at first, I wouldn't be surprised to see them pull some shenanigans. |

OC hit Mississippi in 2013. If those special people in Jackson didn't eat each other in the streets, I'm pretty sure Texas will be fine.
I used to run a probation company in MS. Everyone in the courts was sure it was going to be doom. Nothing happened. |

Carrying an SA revolver for protection is pretty dumb. It's less functional than pretty much any other style of repeating handgun, and unless you're at a SASS shoot or something it screams "look at me", and not in a good way. Sort of on the level of the guys who wore tricorn hats to Tea Party rallies a couple years ago.

2. Wear said badge on my belt detective style. Alternatively on a chain around my neck like Ice T on Law & Order SVU. 3. Open carry into WalMart 4. Wait for first AwwMahGawd! 5. Whip around to show my badge and authoratay....thereby avoiding gun induced visual trauma. 6. Profit |

Crazy thing is... for most of the sheeple out there that would work... The average schmuck who is scared if they think some average Joe might be carrying would feel safer if they saw someone with "authoratay" carrying... Perception = Reality at least for most people. Most mundane dumbasses on the streets are ruled by emotion and manipulated by the media rather than being informed and making decisions based on inconveniences like facts and logic... |

Carrying an SA revolver for protection is pretty dumb. It's less functional than pretty much any other style of repeating handgun. Can you name a SD shoot where a SA revolver would not have gotten it done? Simple fact is, if you know how to use it, it is just as effective as any other style of repeating handgun. Reloads might be a little slower, but SD shootings rarely involve reloading. Come 1 Jan I'll be even more studlyier than that - I have a nice holster for my black powder Remington 1858 all polished up and ready to go. If it was good enought for the Civil War, it's good enought for me. I'd like to pack my single shot .50 cal BP sometime, just need to find a holster for it. The sissy state leg won't let me belt carry it the way I ought to be able to. Bunch of slack jawed faggots. Do you think Davey Crocket had a belt holster for his pistol? Thought not. |

Carrying an SA revolver for protection is pretty dumb. It's less functional than pretty much any other style of repeating handgun, and unless you're at a SASS shoot or something it screams "look at me", and not in a good way. Sort of on the level of the guys who wore tricorn hats to Tea Party rallies a couple years ago. Said the narrow-minded, brainwashed, life long city boy. |

You can carry your black powder pistol (if a replica of a model before 1899?) however you want; it isn't a firearm. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I know that, you know that, no one else, including cops, knows that. We'll have enought bed wetters hassling us on 1 Jan, no need to tempt fate now. |

OK boys, get the tar warm and the feathers out. I'll find us a rail! |
