Re: Any new bills to fix Disorderly conduct by D. Firearm?

Here's the easiest fix that legislators should do in 2017.
St̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶s are deletions in the penal code, u̲n̲d̲e̲r̲l̲i̲n̲e̲s̲ are additions.

Amend Penal Code Sec. 42.01. (8) (Disorderly conduct) like this:
A person commits an offense if he intentionally or knowingly:
8. displays a firearm o̶r̶ ̶o̶t̶h̶e̶r̶ ̶d̶e̶a̶d̶l̶y̶ ̶w̶e̶a̶p̶o̶n̶ in a public place in a manner calculated to alarm, b̲u̲t̲ ̲t̲h̲e̲ ̲m̲e̲r̲e̲ ̲c̲a̲r̲r̲y̲i̲n̲g̲ ̲o̲r̲ ̲p̲o̲s̲s̲e̲s̲s̲i̲o̲n̲ ̲o̲f̲ ̲a̲n̲y̲ ̲f̲i̲r̲e̲a̲r̲m̲ ̲o̲r̲ ̲w̲e̲a̲p̲o̲n̲ ̲s̲h̲a̲l̲l̲ ̲n̲o̲t̲ ̲b̲e̲ ̲c̲o̲n̲s̲i̲d̲e̲r̲e̲d̲ ̲d̲i̲s̲o̲r̲d̲e̲r̲l̲y̲ ̲c̲o̲n̲d̲u̲c̲t.

Would largely prevent law enforcement harassment if there is any towards open carry of handguns. What are your thoughts on this? This same model has been used in other states such as Utah.
