No, and I really wasn't referencing OC either. Overall, I think Const. Carry, in our current environment may not be the best option. We don't live in a time when the majority of people view, and have used, firearms as tools. Will CC in OK effect change here? It may. Depending on the amount of support outside of Dallas/Ft. Worth, San Antonio & Houston, and assuming no one really dumps in their shorts in OK before it becomes a ballot issue, it could pass.K.Mooneyham wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 12:09 pmI didn't really mean it to be a full open carry discussion, I guess I could have been clearer in my original post, and that's my fault. I'm looking more for thoughts on how the change in law up in Oklahoma might affect Texas and its citizens.Rob72 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 11:42 am My issue with CC is philosophical. It sounds great.

However. In the typical "wild west," if you were a dumb-butt with a gun, you either got dead or got beat, in fairly short order.
In communities where you have to wait for someone to kill someone else before "the right charge" can be levied, or the good guy can be red flagged by the fool, you have a social impasse, where the lowest common denominator becomes the ruling class, and stupidity the rule. For this reason, I have to support some marginal "buy in", some minimal investment that indicates that citizenship/right of citizenship is valued, not "owed."
But, tha's me...
