[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Fox News Acknowledges OC in TX is No Big Deal

Pretty much my experience.

Sunday I had to find and retrieve my bull and fix the fences he tore up on his pussy hunt, so I strapped on my rig (cartridge belt and SA .44 Special) and went to town for feed and fencing supplies. In the farm store nobody seemed to notice or care that I was OC-ing. Stopped by the local Allsup's on the way home to grab 150 lbs. of deer corn and walked right past a cop standing on the front porch drinking coffee and talking. He never gave me a second glance. Same on the way out and when loading the corn.

So at least in this part of the world, doesn't seem to be much of a big deal.

When I found him he was pretty much a loner with a boner. The nearest cows in that pasture of the ranch were around a mile away.

Verdict: Unsuccessful.

They sell deer corn at Allsup's? Is it cheaper there than the farm store? The real question is whether you got one of their world famous fried burritos while you were there. I miss those damn things sooo much.

Yes, $7.99 per 50 lbs. $7.49 for 40.lbs. at the farm store. No gut bomb that day. Too early in the morning!

I think it's great.

It forced businesses to display their colors on the subject, now I can shop wisely at gun friendly stores.

Sign companies are private industry, so the economy benefited.

I gained a Right back that I lost moving to Texas, and while many businesses may post signage, before the law it was 100% illegal to do it anyways.

I'm guessing the few places that have posted both .06 and .07 did so in misunderstanding or in a few minuscule fraction, did so purposely because they were now informed/educated on proper signage.

Blood knee high flowing in the streets from all the horrific murders....

Bodies having to be burned in towering funeral pyres...

Every parking lot dispute a fire fight with innocent nuns and babies riddled...

I must be tuned into some lame ass news, because even though I'm listening and watching for it, I'm not seeing or hearing all those many stories of Open Carry death and destruction that the Lib - Tards were telling us were coming at us just as certain as "Climate Change"...

I have not either but that doesn't mean much. I was talking to the deli counter dude at the grocery store and he said he has seen more than a few people come in open carrying. I guess the trick is to stand still long enough in public to see OC.
