Fingers crossed! I am not a fan of the level II requirement, but any open carry is better than none at all!

I like this one a lot better.

Well crap. I was going to use the level 2 requirement to get a GLOCK 26 - for which there are many good retention holster set-ups. Now I'll have to come up with a new excuse.

In reality - this bill is a good thing. The level 2 requirement would have added too much confusion.

I'm lubing up my typing fingers. We need to get behind this!!!! Contact EVERYONE!!!!!!

I'll be interested to see the NRA stance. They have committed to push open carry in Texas.
