In the old west it was considered dastardly to conceal carry. Some places even had laws against it.Soccerdad1995 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 09, 2019 1:24 pm Personally, I think the laws are backwards when it comes to OC and CC in general (not specific to Texas at the moment).
Logically, we should be more comfortable with folks carrying openly, since they are willing to openly display the fact that they are armed. If we are going to restrict one or the other, then carrying concealed should be restricted as it makes it easier for those with nefarious intent. It's kind of like saying that wearing a mask is perfectly OK but you need a special permit to openly show your face in public.
I think this is a perfect example of politicians enacting laws that make people "feel" better, but which are completely illogical.
I wanted to illustrate this point by posting a 30.06 sign next to my front door next to a sign encouraging open carry, but unfortunately SWMBO vetoed that idea.

You're right, OC just ain't my thing. Furthermore, in the current widespread, anti-gun atmosphere, I firmly feel that we 2A believer gun owners should not taunt our opposition with our 1791AD Second Amendment rights. There's a lot more of them than there are of us. "....out of sight, out of mind", if you get my drift?
