Gun-rights advocates pushing for open carry law in Texas
Texas is considered to have some of the most permissive gun laws in the nation, but gun-rights advocates are making it one of their top political targets because it is one of a handful of states that don’t allow handguns to be carried openly.
“It’s shocking that Texas, with its history of rugged individualism that the state symbolizes, doesn’t allow open carry,” said John Pierce, a co-founder of and spokesman for http://www.OpenCarry.org. If the Legislature doesn’t approve an open-carry bill when it convenes in January, “then we’ll see them in 2013,” Pierce said, referring to that session of the Legislature.
Texans have been able to get licenses to carry concealed handguns in most places since 1995. Gun-rights advocates say it’s time to let Texans pack their pistols in full public view as well.

Don’t carry gun if your not going to use it, the criminals have the upmost respect for your use of it.
