UPDATE (March 18)
Once again, our senators and congressman chickened out and did not even introduce the Licensed Open Carry bill. Another year of depriving Texans of their full second amendment rights.
_________
Four states — Texas, South Carolina, Oklahoma and Arkansas — are considering legislation that would allow people to carry handguns openly in a holster.
These generally Second Amendment-friendly states are amongst the last six states that oppose open carrying of guns in some form or another. Openly carrying handguns is legal in the other 44 states of our nation, even those that ban concealed firearms. New York and Florida also bar openly carrying handguns.
Over 55,000 Texans have signed a recent petition asking our Texas Legislature to introduce an Open Carry bill this session. All we’re asking is to let Texans vote on whether or not to allow open carry in our state. The Texas Open Carry Work Group has done a tremendous amount of work in the fight to decriminalize open carry in the great state of Texas, but there’s much more to be done.
We still have not had a bill introduced this legislative session.
If you support the second amendment, talk to your state representatives and senators
If you have not already done so, go here to sign the petition to allows open carry in Texas.
If you live in Texas, and believe that “shall not infringe” means exactly that, please take 10 minutes out of your day and give your State Representatives and Senators a call and let them know that you signed the petition for open carry in Texas or that you would like them to introduce an open carry bill this session.
Here is thea link to find your Representatives/Senators and their contact information if you do not already know it:
http://www.fyi.legis.state.tx.us/
If you live in South Carolina, Oklahoma, or Arkansas — the other states considering open carry bills — call your states representatives too.
Not sure what to talk about? Here are some talking points:
- Oklahoma and South Carolina have already filed NO-LICENSE open carry bills this legislative session in response to petitions that are almost 18 TIMES smaller than the petition for Texas!
- Arkansas is following suit as well.
- Open carry also helps to protect CHL holders from wrongful arrest if their firearm becomes exposed.
- If a bill is not filed this session, Texas could become one of just 3 or 4 states that criminalize open carry.
- The current drafted bill by Representative Debbie Riddle (R) is for licensed open carry. This means that the people with CHL’s that are already carrying handguns would simply have the option to carry openly.
- If open carry gets legalized, it will not be a return to the wild west as many critics argue. Is it like the wild west in all the other states where it is perfectly lawful to openly carry a firearm? No.
If your Representative or Senator is not supportive of unlicensed open carry, ask them how they feel about licensed open carry. If they are still opposed, ask them how they feel about not being re-elected over their opposition to simply letting Texans vote on whether or not they should be able to fully exercise one of their Constitutional rights.

Flashback to 1993-4, then Gov. Ann Richards, a very popular Gov., vetoes a state referendum, to see if the citizens of Texas wished to vote on the CHL. From that point forward, her numbers dropped, and the “Veto Ann” buttons and bumper-stickers appeared all over the state. When George Bush entered the race, and stated he would sign the referendum, to give all our citizens the opportunity to vote on it, his numbers rose, and her’s fell even more.
Shortly after the election, Ann was peddling Doritos for the Super Bowl with another loser, Mario Cuomo, and a while later, W was at El Arroyo, signing the shall issue CHL law.
There is a lesson in there, for our elected officials.
REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATE SENATORS AND REPRESENTIVES ARE DECIEVERS (LIERS). CONTINULLY PERPETUATING THE LIE THAT A LAW HAS BEEN PASSED PROHIBITING OPEN OR CONCEAL CARRYING OF A SURVIVAL SIDEARM.” NO LAW CAN BE PASSED, NO LAW HAS BEEN PASSED” THE SUPREME COURTS HAVE MADE THEIR RULING. .. BLISS VS COMMONWEALTH .. . THE PEOPLE VS ZERILLO … COCKRUN VS THE State TEXAS 24 at 402 (AT 402) …. GOOGLE THESE CASES “NO LAW BEEN PASSED YET. THEY KEEP STEALLING MONEY UNLAWFULLY, CRIMINALS. ….THEREFORE VOTE FOR DEBRA MADENA FOR GOVERNOR, VOTE THE TWO DECIEVERS OUT PERIOD LOOK UP THE TRUTH , THE 3 CASES.
Open carry should be available without restrictions. No CHL or other license required to open carry. Remember 2d Amendment.
What’s next? State approving a marriage license? How about license for your shopping at Walmart?
Open Carry without restrictions (made by some addled brained bureaucrat)….. no license required.
Otherwise take your opencarry and shove it!!!
I believe in open carry but still should have a license and background check
#1 “Ought TO HAVE ONLY A ONE TIME QUALLIFYING COURSE EITHER the same like CONCEAL CARRY When can,When can’t shoot WHY , And handgun safety operating pistol #2 First year only a revolver like HPD (the semi auto’s are less safe for people that never grew up with guns. All s-automatics are not the same,some are very dangerous especially to those which go shoot every 4 0r 5th year, #3 OR Required to go through the Security Officer 3 day course , EITHER COURSE OK ..WHY NOT KILL TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE,can work parttime as a Guard for MONEY. Women really ought to consider a .Model 60 Smith & Wesson revolver being it is a J frame and safe to operate , an injured hand it’s impossible to load and put a shell rd in to shoot a automatic,trying to do it between your knees is too hard,pressing those shell into a magazine is very hard for Ladies compared to just dropping them in a revolvers cylinder…CHECK out the MODEL 60 revolver 3 or 5 inch barrel a great sidearm .IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO COMPETE AGAINST YOUR HUSBAND In SHOOTING TIN CANS THEN THE 3″ BARREL But for hunting or compition the 5 inch barrel
A law is required to prohibit a Senator,a Representive from a criminal act against.a Citizen such as causeing a lawfull Citizen to be arrested for doing that which is a ‘Right’ Know Ye “A Right requires no law, No Permit, No Permission, No FEEdom (no fees)” stop your Ignorance, only a felon requires a license (a law) to be able to carry a survival sidearm. For a Citizen a Right requires no Fee , no Permission, no license. Do you not know whY a law is for? “a law is to be enable to do that which otherwise is a violation of a law” Thats why only those who hVe been convicted of a high crime (felony) need a license to carry. A citizen just only needs to have the Higher Law , You ALL seem to think in 1700′s that they didn’t write the high Law against the Senators, Against Your Favorite Republican Representive, But ye Educated Idiot Whimps can’t seen to get it! You already have That Law ! What in Heavens Name is the “Bill of Laws” (Bill of Rights) DUH ! Ye are a bunch of brainWASHED braindead sheeple, your lowlife representive & senators are still decieving you ” a right requires no permit (permision). It is FREE No fee What is it about the word FREE that you do not understand? That word is in “FREE-DOM” = no fees Free no money required your Senator, your favorite representive “THEY are thieves. ( UnNobles) Low Life Gob of spites. The people already have a Law to open carry and to cover it up carry a survival sidearm – I Am That I Am I damm your Ignorance. Ignorance no more ignorance no longer. Stop fighting for “privileges”. Now fight for you RIGHT. Stop living on your knees. Begging for crumbs from you Senators table. Now to hell with privileges ( crumbs). Get up off your knees “I’d rather die standing with a survival arm in my hand than to live on my knees” – Immiliano Zapata
Yes I agree that we should have open carry laws only with the same regualtions and background check as the CHL. That way Law Enforcement knows that they are allowed to carry that weapon on their hip and not waste time arresting them for UCW when they have more important matters to attend to.
“We have outsmarted the dumbfools, we have made all the people in “our” state Felons that way non can utilize a Right , we have made them ‘ALL’ to have to pay tribute (money) to us Nobles, these peons will keep on being whimps and paying for the privilege to carry a survival sidearm, We Senators. We Representives We have made them all as felons, that way all must obtain our fee way to carry survival sidearm – FEEdom no longer FREEdom for Texans the idiots are all secretly treated like felons now , Oh how I love it. – Satan the Devil and MY Boys the Senators the Representives.
Woe! Stop Rebuke Your Egnorance a license requres a law in a penal code Wake up Ignoramouses “all laws restrict limit regulate how hinder abrige shut out rights from a Citizen ALL laws are ONLY against You your family your grandchildren Stop asking for a law stop revealing your Ignorance of how brainwashed you have become it only causes the decievers your favorite representative to give you what you ask for your ignorantly asking for FEEdom (to pay the gov’t the crime syndicate money to do what they have decieve you into thinking they HAVE passed a law which could have made it a crime what the Supreme Courts have ruled that they CANNOT do but they continually decieve all the people all the time
I believe in open carry, but I do also believe that anyone that carrys, should be licensed. There are those out there that could ‘qualify’ to own a gun, but not review the laws concerning that ‘right’. To go through a course at least opens their eyes to the laws of having a gun in public. There will be those that say, well, they can/will review the laws on their own. We all know irresponsible people that will just get caught up in the movement w/o responsible action to what they are doing or capable of doing. It is like saying, since you have the ‘right’ to own a car, you by default have the ‘right’ to drive w/o a license. Do you want someone to drive w/o having at least rudimentary training and review by responsible authorities. The same with another lethal weapon, the gun.
NEVER SHOULD ANYONE BE REQUIRED TO BUY LICENSE FOR A (FREE) RIGHT … ‘FEEDOM’ VERSUS “FREEDOM” DO YOU NOT KNOW THE TRUTH? a fee for a liberty? a fee for an unalienable right? ..A FREEMAN VERSUS A FEEMAN? ..A RIGHT IS FREE…. FREE >>FREE $ DOLLARS FOR THAT WHICH SO MANY MEN HAVE BEEN BAYONETED FOR?
As a starter, I’d be fine with permitting licensed CHL holders to also open carry if they choose. But I’d much prefer for their to be no law, registration, or permitting required for citizens to fully practice their second amendment rights to keep and bear arms, to include open carry.
As a CHL holder for many years, my concern is the issue with what is called “printing” or allowing the gun to show to the out side. By the letter of the law if the wind catches your shirt and shows any part of the gun or a light pice of clothing allows a person to see it as a gun then you can go to jail for this. The open carry by license is a good fix to this issue. I do strongly agree on licensing and training. Even though driving is a privilege, you have to still be trained and licensed to operate one.
HATEING ONE CITIZEN STEALING HIS MONEY, FORCING HIM TO GIVE A CERTAIN SUM OF MONEY OR ELSE GO TO JAIL THEN FINED MONEY FOR A “FREE” UNALIENABLE “RIGHT”REQUIRING A PERMISSION REDUCED TO WRITTING (PERMIT) BY MONEY. THAT IS TYRANY AND THEIF CRIMINAL STATE GOV”T.. A DESPOT SENATE < A DESPOT HOUSE
I’m in complete agreement with you. They could modify the CHL laws to allow it to cover open carry also.
I think that open carry is a great idea, I do think that any one that wants to carry needs to be tested and proven able to handle the weapon, knows the laws on deadly force just like a CHL holder does, in fact I think that they should be licensed to carry. I agree with the 2nd amendment in the right to bear arms, however not every one can use a weapon in a safe manner like the age of the founding fathers. I like the comment in the post that driving is a privilege it is also a right. Anyone that can drive can, as long as they are trained and Licensed. The bad guys are never going to care about the laws so why should the innocent law abiding person be a victim to them because the state or government will not protect them. If the state or feds are going to prevent open on Concealed carry then they should assign protection to us all.
Open carry should be left to the individule the same as choice of religion. God gave us the ability and choice to religion and our history has given us the right to open carry. For me I believe in both.
THE GOVERNMENT OF TEXAS IS DESPOTIC, CONTINUALLY PERPETUATING THE MYTH, BLINDING THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS SO THAT THE PEOPLE TO THINK THEY NEED A LAW TO DO (EXERSIZE) A RIGHT , A RIGHT TO OPEN OR COVER CARRY , WHEREAS STALLING THE DUPPED CITIZENS YEAR AFTER YEAR WITH EXCUSES THAT THEY JUST COUDN'T GET IT DONE THIS SESSION NOR THE NEXT NOR THE NEXT, THE DESPOT TEXAS GOV'T KEEPS THE FEAR PERPETUATING, THE THIEF OF THE PEOPLES MONEY, MILLIONS IN FINES ,JAIL TIME ,JOBS LOST, FAMILIES SUFFER BY THIS OPPRESSION BY THIS LOW LIFE BASTARD TEXAS GOV'T OF TYRRANTS , DESPOT SENATORS AND REPRESENTIVES, CONTINUALING THE FEAR TO CARRY SIDEARMS, FEARING THEIR GOV'T. YOU PUT YOUR HANDGUN ON AND START TO WALK OUT THE DOOR OPEN CARRYING FEAR HUH! WHY? YOUR CONTROLED BY FEAR.
Open carry (wth a license) makes more sense than concealed:
1. Law enforcement would know immediately if you where carrying.
2. Law abiding CHL holders would not get in trouble for unintentionally ‘flashing’ their firearm.
3. In some cases (particularly in the hot summers) concealing a firearm is very difficult. Open carry woudl be much more convenient.
I completely support open carry (with a license and background check)
""WHOO-PEE,WITH MY HAND RAISED TO THE SKY, WAVING MY PERMIT,MY PERMISSION. MY WOUNDERFULL LICENSE TO CONCEAL AND OPEN CARRY" YOU EDUCATED STUPID IDIOT, YOU ARE WAVING IT IN HEAVENS FACE WITH ONE HAND AND AT SAME TIME URINATING ON THE MENS GRAVES WHICH WERE BAYONETED AND BURIED AT GOLIAD AT ALAMO AT SAN JACINTO, KNOW YE NOT THAT WHICH YE DO 'FEEMAN?

This person who says all of these comments in ALLCAPS is part of the problem, not part of the solution. Most likely he (or she) is a liberal plant designed to make firearms owners seem like rabid extremists, instead of the law-abiding free Americans that they are…I fully support the CHL becoming a CARRY License and this would solve the issue of being turned in by anti-firearm zealots from the Brady Campaign, et al for “printing” or if they caught a tiny glimpse of your reasonably concealed firearm…and this should be on the 2011 agenda, WITHOUT FAIL!
The above SO Called Patriot is he not a mole of the Two Horn Beast (gov’t of U.S.), he is of the mind set like the low life gob of spits which went to the Mission church ‘Waco ) and is a terroist caused the childrenthere to fear to shake to suffer to burn to die a horrible agany death, a Patriot BULLSHIT he puts out psychological warfare against all FREE MEN he tries to overthrow the ‘kingdom of Free’ as in our word Free Dom FreeLiberty FreeDom there be no charge for that which is Free “like one Lady said “A RIGHT REQUIERS NO PERMIT” I say a Right has alredy been paid for, ALREADY been paid for then it was only wrote down secretly hidden in the 9th amendment not the 2th, a survival sidearm open and conceal carry is carried over into the socalled 9th But it is not an amendment BUT IS An “Article”. An Artical can not be amended away. A ‘Right’ Requires no License period ye ignorant educated idiots , Get out of your dumbdownness city slicker thinking, A “Right” Requires no fee (no license no permit no feeman no senator no representive no paperwork ). Where is the permit the license in 1790′s in 1890′s An Article never changes only your Ignorance. STOP being traitor Stop being like the British sympathisers of 1770′s. STOP beiing a mole. Your the whimpy problem. Freedom. FREDOM. What is it about the word Free that you do not understand?

Hello, I’m a Texas Licensed Firm arms instructor (Female, 42). First look at me and you would most likely say to yourself “she does not look like the person who carries a gun, much less knows much about anything them”.
10 Years ago I was assaulted in broad daylight. Ladies or for anyone who has females in their life, this is all for you.
Broad daylight at 1pm in the afternoon in a very busy grocery store in N. Dallas, I was assaulted by a man who grabbed my hair and was trying to pull me out of the store.
I was lucky I got away from the predator.
This changed my life. I promised myself that if I’m ever again put in danger like that again my perp would not be so luck to get away.
I jumped back three feet, left him with a hand full of long red hair and I was so afraid and in complete shock I did not know what to do.
However, states studies like the one done in Florida when they approved the open carry law dropped their crime rate by 20 percent.
If I had been licensed at that time and it was an open carry, my perp my have thought twice before twisting off on me.
However, because of that frightening day, I started taking Aikio classes (brown belt), got my CHL and loved it so much I became trained as an Instructor and went back to college to get my degree in Criminal Justice.
However, because of Texas ever changing laws, I’m now required to drive to Austin once
or every year: I’m required to go to Austin and be trained in all new laws as well as a shooting proficiency test.
I’m very unhappy that Texas is one of only a few other States that has not brought this to legislation.
There are too many positive statistics that support CHL or open carry. Of course, as a CHL holder we have a very big responsibility for safety.
People ask me all the time “Can’t someone just walk up and take your gun?”
The answer is: passably, however the chance is very slim because most of with a CHL are smart; purchasing only the proper holsters and the gun that fit’s it. I would also advise that the gun be a good match for the person as well. No need in carrying a S & W 500.
The Gun should fit the hand and you need to keep up your practice to be a good shot, just in case you ever have to use it, which none of us every what it to come to this.
The fact remains guys and gals; criminals (perps) are always going to be able to get their nasty little hands on a gun or other weapon (a rock can be used as a weapon or a vehicle).
Perps are less likely to attack if they know they have to fight to get what they want. If you don’t have a CHL, but want to protect yourself- do not walk like you are weak and possible prey. A perp can smell weakness, walk like you mean business, and make sure you are completely aware of all your surroundings (even across the street).
Now as for the open carry law we really need to band together and push our government in Texas not only to take it to legislation, but get the bill passed. I believe there are a lot of us out there make this a change in 2010. CHL holders in Texas have increased due to our new president elect, in fear of loosing our second amendment rights. The truth is if you do not take action for our constructional rights they well be lost and we may never get them back.
Open Carry in Texas protects the CHL and lowers crime rates. This is Texas let’s fight for what is right PUSH FOR OPEN CARRY.
Thanks for sharing your experiences on this Lady Gigi.
Sadly, it will be at least 2 more years before we can debate and vote on this again.
Hopefully by that time the Texas GOP will have a larger majority to prevent the Dems from sabotaging 1oos of bills via chubbing.
Can anyone answer this rumor?(as I believe it is just that, a rumor?)
A dear friend came to me an stated that on the 2009 tax forms we are going to have to claim every firearm we have and for each pay $50.00. This is so the government can keep up with who’s got gun’s (not who’s got milk, lol)
I have read the HR 45 Bill and it states nothing I have also research the IRS website and still found nothing.
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this Rumor.
Thank you
Lady Gigi
That’s a new one on me, Gigi.
I think it’s bogus.
gigi – it’s against the law for the federal government to collect info on gun owners regarding how many and what kinds of guns they have (that’s why there’s no such thing as a federal gun license). Something like what you’re talking about would constitute illegal activity.
As my husband woudld say….better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6. Can’t see how that would be legal for the IRS to ask that anyway…… First they have to catch you.
“WHO OWNS YOUR WATCH, YOUR CELL PHONE, YOUR SURVIVAL SIDEARM THE government OR YOU?” “WHO OWNED THE LAND ALL THE LAND IN TEXAS AFTER SAN JACINTO? WE THE PEOPLE COULD CARRY OUR BOWIE KNIVES, OUR SURVIVAL PISTOLS WHY? BECAUSED WE OF THE TRIBE TEXANS OWNED THE LAND,NOW THE government in Austin has thought they have passed laws so makeing them the new owners an we Texans tenants upon the land our fathers owned, BEING CONSIDERED NO LONGER THE OWNERS THEY ARREST US CLAIMING THAT WE NO LONGER HAVE LAND OWNERSHIP THEREFORE NO “RIGHTS” THEY ALLEGE WE CAN’T CARRY OUR SURVIVAL SIDEARMS BY “RIGHT” BECAUSE NOW ONLY they OWN THE LAND IN Texas NOT US, they DUPE US WITH SUBTERFUGE, THEIR POLICE STATE CHILLS US, YOU MUST GOOGLE “Debra Medina(in studio) ON Alex Jones Tv 2/4 : Debra Medina for Texas Governor 2010 PLEASE GOOGLE.
I want unlicensed open carry because paying for a license implies you’re buying your *inalienable* rights back from the government. This is one of the many problem I have with the Texas CHL (among others are the ludicrous restrictions on what type of gun you can carry being dependent on what kind of gun you “qualify” with, and the imprinting hogwash).
If a license is required, the cops will be busy all day stopping people to see if they have a license. I can think of a thousand better things the cops could be doing with their time.
So, which of the current candidates is going to come out for our right to openly carry in Texas? Will it be Rick or Kay or……….?
I Don’t know what TX senate district your in but there is a new guy running for district 22, Darren Yancy. I have sat down with him one on one and discussed his views on open carry. He says if elected he WILL bring a bill to the senate floor. So for all of you how might read this in TX senate district 22. Please Vote for Mr. Yancy..
“I CARRY MY HANGUN EVERYWHERE I TRAVEL,I REFUSE TO OBTAIN A LICENSE TO CARRY MY HANGUN, THE CCL IS A VIOLATION OF MY RIGHT TO HAVE MY GUN FREELY,THE CCL IS NOT A RIGHTEOUS LAW IN TEXAS ” “I MAKE MYSELF VERY CLEAR ABOUT TEXAN’S RIGHT [ RIGHT ] PLEASE SEE MY VEDIO ABOUT THIS VERY ISSUE GOOGLE Debra Medina speaks about Gun Rights and self defense ! Debra Medina . KNOW THIS AND YOU SHALL SEE WHY Rick and KAY ARE NOT THE BEST Candinate for Governor.
I feel that we need to be given back out rights of the 2nd amendment to open carry with only needing to be a US citizen to qualify. I served USN and feel that today’s government is removing out rights quicker than ever before.
Debra Medina who is running for Governor of TX in 2010 supports open carry and she has come out publicly stating this.
I asked Gov. Perry on Friday what he thought of Open Carry, and he said that, while he prefers concealed carry because he “doesn’t want the bad guys to know who is carrying,” he does not oppose open carry.
If the legislature would ever get off their ass and give Perry an Open Carry bill to sign, he would.

A true texan do not ever want to be a FEEman but desire eternally to be only a FREEmen (free without money required to do a RIGHT).

In my city of Wichita falls this week was a shooting of 4 woman at hasting. then another at a niteclub called Tobes. the door man was my sons best frend. he was killed at point blank. my son and i have C.H.L.s . maybe if someone eles had a open carry the killer would have thought about it before he did this. think about it! thank you. & please pass this open carry law. MIKE @ SON.
Only those who have Honorably served in the Military or possess a CHL should be allowed to Open Carry not anyone 21 years old that can buy a gun.
Didn’t know that the 2nd AMENDMENT had all of those qualifications in it! The Candidate that supports “OPEN CARRY” and or passes it, will be the Next Governor of TEXAS!
How about those of us that have put years in as a commissioned security officer as well as 10 to 20 years in the military serving in combat arms. People in these catagories receive more training than most law enforcemnt people get.
You, Sir, are an elitist moron… the rights povided by Creator and recognized by our constitution are for all… period. no one can be excluded by law under our constitution without crossing the boundries that separate us from other.so called, democracies. We Are A Constitutional Republic! Military service has nothing to do with GOD given rights!
“OPEN CARRY” is a good answer for the problem that is developing along the BORDER with MEXICO, we don’t want to end up like ARIZONA. We’ve got to protect ourselves-the FED won’t-O’Bama said!
I am all for open carry, CHL works but it leaves us law abiding gun owner at the mercy of anti-gun enthusiast. Anyone could simply say they caught a glimpse of just a tip of your generally concealed firearm and you could get into real trouble with police.
We need to all peacefully but collectively push open carry in Texas. Amongst other things I think it would be a real shame for Texas to be the only state that does not allow it; its bad enough already…
It’s not illegal to accidentally print. It has to be intentional.
If you all want open carry, you need to speak with with the same message.
Open carry is the goal of the Lone Star Citizens Defense League. You can find out about LSCDL at our website.
We’ll do it right, without derailing other gun legislation or endangering existing gun rights. Please consider joining and help with the effort to restore our constitutional rights.
Guess you might need the website address too. Eh? It’s http://www.lonestarcdl.org/.
Thanks for the link, Douglas. I’ll check out your site.
Any word on the open carry bill? I was hearing that it could have been released as early as last week.
B.D. Walker — I spoke with Gov. Perry about it last weekend. I asked him directly, “If an Open Carry bill comes to your desk for signature, will you sign it into law, or veto it?”
Gov. Perry is not personally in favor of open carry, mostly because local and state law enforcement groups are opposed to it. But he assured me, that if such a bill crosses his desk, he will indeed sign it into law.
However, with that said, he also said he had no indication nor was he expecting any such bill.
I hope he’s wrong.
Robbie Cooper – Gov Perry had stated his intention to sign the open carry bill should it come across his desk during his campaign for re-election
I agree that he does not seem to be 100% behind the bill coz there are things he could do to move the bill along but choose not to. I too hope he is wrong about the expectation of an OC bill.
There is a newly elected rep from district 1 called Rep George Lavender who stated his interest and intention to sponsor and file the Texas open carry bill. I am trying to monitor him for any progress report but non at this time; I assume it would not be until the 2011 session starts. You can feel free to send him an email by going to his website at: http://www.georgelavender.com/
Rep Lavender is the only rep I know right now that has show such intention; that’s why I am keeping an eye out for him and still having some hope on an Open carry bill come 2011.
Open Carry without license is the only fair and constitutional way. If you are in for the upper classes who can afford a license then you are as UN -American as any othe dictator in this world!
There HAS been an open carry bill filed. Details on my blog. http://www.blackforkblog.blogspot.com/. Not hit shopping just don’t want to have to retype all the details. No sponsor on the Senate side.
