There is an interesting article in the Ft. Worth Star Telegram this morning about the possibilities of open carry in Texas. Here is the link: http://www.star-telegram.com/2010/05/22 ... g-for.html

I have no problem with open carry, but I prefer to carry concealed. :txflag:

Yes. Like a SA license allows me to carry a semiauto or a revolver.

Yeah, but nothing new is being said, just a rehashing of what has been stated repeatedly for the last few years.

Seems like a great topic to discuss on the Texas Open Carry Forum.

I just started reading "More Guns, Less Crime" by John R. Lott Jr.
I believe I now like the idea of concealed carry. His argument is
that some BGs make determinations who might be carrying before
committing crimes against persons.

That would probably be more popular than the Texas Don't Carry and Leave it in the Car Forum. "rlol"
