That's why there are retention holsters. It would be extremely difficult for anyone to pull my gun out of my holster because their hand cannot be easily positioned to push the "button" to release the gun. They would also have to know the holster to know where to release the gun.
It's also why you just don't let people close enough to do that stuff.
Such a proposal (open carry unloaded pistols only) would never pass muster in Texas. California, maybe; but not Texas!
Whatever state does have such ridiculous requirements would be one that OC'ing in wouldn't be worth the trouble.
There are numerous pros and cons to OC, I actually used to be more against it than for but changed my stance a while back. I still would be unlikely to do so if allowed, but it would be nice to have the option!

p.s. Congrats on getting your user name changed, but now I think you are a University of South Florida fan!
Very difficult unless you avoid all social situations.
I do my best. (No, really - I do.)
But no, I don't see how keeping someone from getting too close is that hard.
It has come to my attention that some people who support the Open Carry bill have sent threatening email's and maybe phone calls to committee members and their staff. This is not acceptable and does much more harm than good. If you know anyone who is doing this, please ask them to stop.
This from George Lavender's Facebook page...
Whereas I suspect it is an underhanded tactic but those who oppose OC; I also worry that there may be some supporters who are becoming overly zealous in getting it passed. I don't think anyone on here would be so stupid as to threaten someone like that, but if you could help get the word out it will benefit us all!
Call me radical, but open carry should not require a license. Neither should concealed carry.
Of course, I am always for moving the ball down field.
I dont think people would freak out too much about seeing a gun on your hip. They would
A. Not notice
B. Think your a cop of some sort and not think twice on it
C. Just not care

I agree. If in the unlikely eventuality my wife maneuvers me to a social function I find the first place to sit with my back to the wall and look pissed off so everyone avoids me.
A tangeant off that, I'd dress nice all the time - tucked in, nice shirt, nice belt, nice jeans, nice boots. I'm looking forward to the prospect of a nice and professional presentation rather than trying to dress with bulky pants and shirts to hide my carry. Conceal carry dress & style are different beasts for guys and girls. IMO, generally, guys have it easier for CC.
The way I want to dress and the style clothes I want to wear, I cannot with CC.
