How does being allowed to carry a concealed weapon across State borders

Maybe you should explain it because I don't understand it either.

for over 20 years, it was illegal to carry a handgun on or near your person, and for 20 years it was illegal to do so unless one had the required license to do so. NOTHING, however, mentioned anything about long guns. in other words, the actual wording of the laws made it legal to open carry a rifle or shotgun with no 'permit'. this was done by the legislature to effectively quell any 2nd amendment lawsuit over permits because, in their minds, who would actually carry a rifle or shotgun in the open. When numerous attempts to get the legislature to change, or repeal, the handgun laws, we took matters in to our own hands to show the legislature how stupid they were.

Perhaps someone from Texas might have to go through Chicago...with all its gun regulations that have made it the murder capital of the United States. Just a thought...but there should be a federal licensing agency with an extreme vetting process that allows any law abiding citizen the right to carry and conceal across any state line.

this only gives more assumed power to the feds where they have no constitutional power to begin with.

I'll repeat, idiot. The Journal of Epidemiology. Refute their findings, cumstain, or shut the fuck up with your ad hom bullshit.
 
I live in Texas and im not old enough to have a conceal carry license yet, although I plan on getting one once I turn 21, but I do however have two rifles under the back seat in my truck right now. In order to open carry a handgun in Texas you need to be 21 and have a conceal carry license and there are limits to where you can bring it. I'll have to ask my dad about walking around with a rifle though out in the open but I personally wouldn't want to carry a rifle around if for no other reason than a lack of convenience.

their finding HAVE been refuted, numerous times. going back and forth about who's report you want to believe is just you being a moron. so now that you've lost the debate, where do you go?

Norah, I'm more of a concealed carry person myself. Being your neighbor to the north I like the reciprocal agreement we have, with Texas and numerous other states. I travel a lot and everywhere I go I carry...within the law. It's easy when we go to the Texas panhandle to visit my niece and her family or to Kentucky to visit my wife's folks. As to open carry, I have done that on occasion. Mostly when I have my pistol in a holster and I'm going hunting, but stop at a convenience store for coffee or something on the way. So while I'm not an open carry type of fellow (I have made a few gun trades in a convenience store...or their parking lot) I am not totally opposed to it. Just wish some of those who do it 'just because' ... wouldn't.

Maybe your open carry gun can save you right? Doubtful, but it gives you hope I am sure.

Openly carrying a gun for self defense doesn't lower your chance of having an ability to defend yourself any more than conceal carry does since both options give you the opportunity for defense, but I would say that open carry makes you a more noticeable first target for a criminal if they notice it and have an intention of doing harm to you and others in public. I'd much rather have a concealed gun than an openly visible one, but I support that persons right and ability to conceal it or openly carry.

Thanks. It all just boils down to being responsible.

1) if a person has evil intent, nothing is going to stop them.
2) the whole 'first target' issue has happened twice in the last 10 years (by all reports) so I don't think it's an issue
3) I've actually watched open carry be a deterrence for some that had obvious ill intentions, so it does have advantages that concealed doesn't.

I was more just speaking for myself. I'm not old enough to open carry but even if I was I would rather conceal carry.

1) Norah has common sense, I like that, it's rare.
2) We get it.

I understand. Willfully ignorant paranoiacs like you love to ignore that kind of truth. It tends to cause a great deal of cognitive dissonance for you, so you insert your head up your ass and dismiss it.

Keep the flail!

Is someone forcing you to buy a gun against your will?
