Interesting. I was not aware of that. Kind of like NFA weapons are illegal in Texas but having the tax stamps are a defense to prosecution? There are many here who are going to tell you I am 100% wrong.

This is the reason everyone should open carry as much as possible come Jan 1. After a while the police will get tired of stopping people to check for a CHL. If they don't and keep harassing people, it would probably be grounds for a lawsuit. View Quote I have NEVER personally witnessed for myself folks ever carrying a rifle or shotgun around in the street, though it's legal. So just because it becomes legal in January 2016 for handguns, why should we expect to see any jackasses walking around with a holstered pistol on their hip just for the hell of it? If this is something you must do, well then knock yourself out and be the first one on your block to do it. Because you WILL be the only one seen doing it on your block, and probably anywhere for that matter. Enjoy all the attention. Because you certainly will get.

"Belt or shoulder holster" Does that include and IWB holster that clips on the belt in the small of the back? CMOS I might regret asking this, but how do you plan on open carrying with an IWB holster? Half shirts went out in the 80's, please don't try and bring em back. With a tucked in shirt. I see sheriff deputies do it a bunch around here . Not everyone is a slob with their shirt tail out when in casual clothing Precisely. Legal? CMOS Curious about the answer to this one. I thought there was something about the retention level required, not sure if an IWB holster would qualify. Even if it is legal I am still not sure about carrying exposed on my back, guess it would depend on the environment. I will probably just stay a slob. |

Most typical non-gun people in my area I've talked to had assumed it was already legal, just not common enough for them to have witnessed it.

View Quote When I was a young kid up in the Panhandle, I had assumed that open carry of pistols was legal. I saw numerous ranchers and farmers wearing revolvers in the cowboy holsters whenever they were out working. I remember (maybe incorrectly) seeing a few open carrying in town. This was in the 80's though and I grew up in a town of about 5,000 people. |

No reason to carry a rifle or shotgun in public, or I would do so. Open carry
of a handgun is different. Kind of the same reason you don't see cops walking around town with a rifle but you do see them carrying a pistol. If you never exercise a right because you are afraid the police will stop you, do you really have that right? Quoted:

They manage to figure it out in about 38 other states without bloodshed or stupid arrests, surely cops in Texas have to be at least as smart as in those states.

I am aware of the fact that open carry has passed and will be legal to do so on January 1, 2016 with my CHL. I haven't heard a peep from anyone since it passed other than the Texas Hometown Forum other than a 20 second blurb on the San Antonio news. I have no doubt that this is going to cause issues very soon and alot of people area going to cause problems when they see someone legally openly carrying their pistols. Why isn't there a public information campaign going on? It seems like this would solve alot of issues right off the bat and LEO won't be responding to a "deranged" person with a gun, especially in our liberal strongholds (Austin). I doubt this will be an issue in rural Texas but will be a pain in the ass for police in the big cities. Maybe its just me, but I would like our police officers responding to more important calls. Have you guys heard anything more than when the governor signed it into law? View Quote I know one local PD is printing booklets with info on the new law. When someone calls, they will make contact with the caller only and provide the information. They will not make contact with the person carrying unless a crime was witnessed. I was quite surprised that they are going through the trouble of actually making contact with the caller and printing materials. |

How long before the lawyer says they are only being stopped because of the color of their skin? Yes it's legal for the police to check but at what point does it become harassment / discrimination? |

The OCTC people are convinced themselves, and convinced a number of people that it was their protesting and noise that made the difference to get the Texas version of OC passed. Many of the OCTC (Open Carry Tarrant County) people have criminal records that prevent them from being eligible for a CHL as of today anyway. That will pass with time. They will have their rights restored, provided they stay out of trouble. They thought that people seeing guns being carried in public would desensitize them. I disagree. I heard the BS from family and friends from coast to coast. The country now views Texas gun owners in a dim light. The media, of course picked the worst examples of Texas gun owners to interview. Texans have always been somewhat disliked outside of Texas anyway. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

I don't think I have a problem with people like that not being allowed to carry around a gun. I think where we will be with the new LTC licensing for open and concealed carry is the best balance (except for the stupid holster requirements).

Says who? A Driver license is not the same here. Penal Code 46.02 makes it unlawful to carry a handgun. Cop sees you with handgun. He immediately has PC to arrest you for UCW, violation of 46.02. The non-applicability in 46.15 that allows you to carry with a license is the same that allows a armed guard to carry, or a person to carry while hunting, or to carry an illegal knife while fishing. You telling me a cop cannot verify any of those activities if he sees you with said weapon? Cop sees you with handgun. PC exists for arrest. You provide handgun license and show you meet the non-applicability. I don't think openly carrying a handgun is PC for a terry stop as you described. Yes it is illegal under 46.02, but so is operating a motor vehicle. Two people driving, one with a DL, one without. You cant tell who does and who doesnt have one, so do you pull both over and check DLs? no, because theres no PC. I interpret the handgun laws the same way. it would be unlawful search if you were ID'd every time you drove, and every time you legally carried openly. |

As to the in your face politics they used your very correct on that as their tactic. This is the one subject I have a bad time making up my mind on. They used the same playbook as what most liberals use. Yell at the top of your lungs and shame anyone that gets in your way. For years we have allowed the small anti 2nd groups to dictate our rights. Maybe we should use some of their tactics as the tactics we have used in he past has not got us very much in the last 75 plus years. And yes I am native to this state. |

In my opinion: constitutional carry most likely would have failed this past session, but it would not have died in committee if it weren't for the antics of OCTC. Their escapades while visiting the capital gave the "antis" the perfect argument as to why not everyone should be allowed to carry a gun. I'm actually surprised that there was not much effort to rescind the open carry of long guns. Some could argue that the passage of licensed open carry was a big flip-off to Kory and his OCTC minions. |

Their purpose wasn't to "normalize" the sheeple, but to intimidate them and get TV time with the media. OC of rifles and shotguns isn't/wasn't an issue until OCT/OCTC decided it was time for political theater........and the antigunners were astonished at the stupidity.....OCT did more to derail Texas firearms advocacy than Mayor Bloomburg could have dreamed. So I see the name calling keeps going on. If there were no fat guys and no snow boots would that have made a difference? If not then why do you focus on that so much? When a picture of someone OC with a pistol in a restraunt shows up will you say that's bad to? Take some time to read the comments in the arrtical posted about the Houston ZOO. It's amazing how many think it's just now legal to carry there just because the signs are coming down. The anti people will always be anti and to think your going to win a large portion of them over is crazy. |

I don't think openly carrying a handgun is PC for a terry stop as you described. Yes it is illegal under 46.02, but so is operating a motor vehicle. Two people driving, one with a DL, one without. You cant tell who does and who doesnt have one, so do you pull both over and check DLs? no, because theres no PC. I interpret the handgun laws the same way. it would be unlawful search if you were ID'd every time you drove, and every time you legally carried openly. View Quote So, anyone can just violate 46.02 now, openly even, with impunity? The licenses are significantly different, and I believe the laws relating to DLs are not going to apply. It will be interesting, for certain.... |

So, anyone can just violate 46.02 now, openly even, with impunity? The licenses are significantly different, and I believe the laws relating to DLs are not going to apply. It will be interesting, for certain.... No. Im not saying that at all. i am saying that, just seeing a person driving down the road, following all applicable laws, as you can tell, is no reason to pull them over and check for their DL because you have no reason to believe that they are breaking the law. OC would be the same. A reasonable and prudent person (they are getting harder and harder to find, yes I know) would assume that someone carrying a handgun openly, in a holster, not acting suspeciously or commiting any crime, is legal. LEOs should be reasonable and prudent people. Now what will actually happen, both on the streets and in the courts, i agree, will certainly be interesting. I fear that some people may end up getting injured, or worse. I can just see a scenario playing out with someone openly carrying in a public store, some person calling 911 saying theres a deranged person with a guy. PD responds with long guns. PD demands the person prone out, person refuses. "you don't have the right, i am legally carrying this gun!!" and then person makes a wrong move and either gets tackled, tazed, or shot. right or wrong, on any party's part, is up for debate. |

I don't think I have a problem with people like that not being allowed to carry around a gun.

People keep saying what you did but we just got open carry. I am having a hard time understanding how they hurt gun rights at the moment. Please explain what they did hurt. Winning in politics means convincing the public of the merits of your ideas. We advocate responsible gun ownership. The other side says people should not have guns because of reason x, y, and z. We may have get what we wanted right now but if people like that keep doing that type of crap (reason x, y, z), then it's only a matter of time before public perception turns the other way.

Do you always disagree and call people trolls when there is a discussion or disagreement? Here is a hint when you are trying to educate don't say go and read it. Just inform the person what is incorrect and educate them. Now please correct and educate me if I am wrong. To be very honest with you I have not really kept up with the OC thing this session mostly because I don't really plan on doing it. I just hate the fact that supposedly pro gun people will eat their own. Most of you still don't understand the anti groups like to divide and marginalize you to win. I do this on a daily basis in business to great success. Most have no idea that they are being played. |
