just a month away, guns will be openly carried in Texas

Indeed. Before you know it, silly men with sleeveless flannel shirts will start gun clubs dedicated to pushing back the invisible arm of the "Feds". Kind of like when I was 9, and all the neighborhood kids defended our tree-house against the Ninjas hiding out in the woods with our quiver of "Chinese stars". We were badass, brother.

(As a disclaimer, I support concealed carry laws vigorously, but simply think that ugly, middle-aged white trash walking around with loaded guns is a very bad fashion trend).

What is the point of open carry? Do you not feel secure enough in the fact you have a gun? Why the need for open carry? It just causes alarm among the populace and shouldn't they be free to quiet enjoyment?
 
We will be back here discussing a dead open black carried who was perceived as a threat!
Is that the true neocon goal

1) it's not my problem if you wet your panties at the sight of a gun
2) if guns scare you, do you run from the police?
3) I feel very secure with a gun on my hip, wouldn't you?
4) open carry has been found to be a deterrent to crime, therefore I don't need to worry about the 'element of surprise' as those who do are itching to shoot someone.

In just weeks, Texans will be able to openly carry their holstered handguns.

As the state and its residents prepare to shift from concealed to open carry, Tarrant County residents are ready — collectively, they account for the second highest number of licensed residents in any county in the state.

Harris County has led the way for years, with the most residents licensed to carry concealed handguns. Tarrant County follows right behind, a Star-Telegram analysis of Texas Department of Public Safety data shows.

Maybe it’s the cowboy culture. Or maybe it’s because Fort Worth is where the West begins.

But there has been a six to seven percent increase in the number of Tarrant County residents gaining concealed handgun licenses in recent years.

“It’s like the old west,” said Curtis Van Liew, a local instructor with Texas EZ Concealed Handgun License class. “If you start from the east boundary of Texas and move west, the further west you go, you’re going to see more leniency when it comes to firearms.”

Soon, though, the Concealed Handgun License in Texas as it exists will be just a collector’s item.

It will be replaced with the License to Carry, or LTC, as Texans renew or apply for a license after open carry goes into effect Jan. 1, 2016.

The number of Texans with licenses to carry handguns continues to grow, this year reaching nearly 914,000, or nearly 4 percent of Texas’ 27 million residents.

Now, as licensed Texans are on the verge of being able to carry their weapons openly, interest in the license has seemed to increase.

“We’ve seen a pretty significant influx in inquiries about open carry since it passed,” Van Liew said. “It’s like anything, when it first comes out and it’s new, people are on board with it.

No one is sure how the switch to open carry may impact the number of licenses issued next year and beyond.
But Texans should be ready for a culture shift, at least at first.

“It’s not strap on your hog’s leg (a six-shooter) and go to the restaurant,” said Alan Korwin, author of more than a dozen gun law books, including the “Texas Gun Owners Guide. “It’s more nuanced than that.”

“I think there will be initial shock with people openly carrying,” Van Liew said. “Some people will be absolutely stunned by it.”

Despite the change in law, some, such as Van Liew, say they still plan to keep their weapons concealed.

“I want all the benefits and advantages I can have if I’m ever in a confrontation,” he said. “The biggest one is the element of surprise.”

you should be embarrassed over your ignorance and idiocy. you're so wrapped up in calling everyone who doesn't agree with you a righwing racist that you refuse to see anything different. thus, your every post drips with stupidity.
