OPEN CARRY IN TEXAS

[Vaquero]

There's that damned dress code again.

Nice that OC is legal but I still don’t see the point. Just makes you a target for bad guys who want a free gun.

The element of surprise and anonymity is powerful.

Always carry my friends and don’t show your gear

I've noticed many people OCing around the Dallas area. At the WinCo store in Garland I see someone doing so almost every trip.

Most establishments in Frisco/Plano post 30.07 signs. OC is frowned upon it seems

I'm glad to see people open carry. That means if something goes down the bad guy is concentrating on that person while I carefully line up my sights.

Most criminals like easy marks. I'm sure there is cases of bad guys taking on someone that is open carrying, but I also believe that many wouldn't want the trouble that could come of it.

You're assuming that the bad guys even notice.

If I was a bad guy in need of a gun, an open carrier would be my first and easiest target. Beats breaking in to a house

What I have noticed is multiple businesses and offices I’ve entered display 30.07 signage but not 30.06.
Personally I only CC so it doesn’t affect me in these situations.

Urban myth, but go ahead and believe it...

1) Thank you for your service to our Nation in our USMC 2) I have found that if one dresses and acts acts appropriately, most of the "public" just ignore "O.C."

I have OC'd wearing a multicam kilt, still very few people have ever noticed the handgun...

 

[busykngt]

She said, “Is that a gun under your kilt... or are you just happy to see me?”

Brrrrrrr..... boda-boom!

This myth is simply not supported by any crime statistics from any agency

So is this just your own idea or do you care to show us the data to back up your claim?

When I was a bad guy, I never jumped anybody with a gun 'cause I thought I might get shot!

When I OC I'm more conscience of my handgun, you had better be able to grab it quickly or that will be the last time you do, just sayin.

I open carry almost daily since I could. I know several others that do. Never had any negative comments but a lot of positive ones. Mostly, people don't notice. They are too concerned with themselves to care abbout me. And given the way I look, I have gotten no more funny looks than normal either.
