XD45 7,124 Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 The media is making a very big deal about TX open carry, and all the "problems" it may cause. It's all a big question mark. Nobody knows how people will behave if allowed to carry firearms right out in the open. That's understandable considering that TX will be the first state to ever have open carry.* http://news.yahoo.com/texas-big-gun-law-state-model-modern-open-205037963.html The sight of civilians carrying visible weapons is about to become commonplace in the Lone Star State. Some wonder how the law will affect policing. . . *except for the following states that open carry without permit: AlaskaMontanaIdahoWyomingNevadaArizonaNew MexicoSouth DakotaVermontKentuckyVirginia And these states which allow open carry with restrictions: UtahNorth DakotaMinnesotaIowaTennesseeMississippiGeorgiaIndianaMarylandNew JerseyRhode IslandConnecticutMassachusetts 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
termite 463 Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Alabama is open carry with out a permit, concealed carry still requires one, and I see pistols open carried more and more, I open carry, no big deal...... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 I'm in AL too, OC is constitutional & CC requires permit, I carry both ways. AL OC laws were just improved and reinforced, no more getting hassled for OC by asshat LEOs. MS just went OC year before last IIRC, they had the same drama as TX... Nothing happened, never does.

patriot 7,197 Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 PA is open carry too, but with restrictions, and is "frowned upon" by PA LEO. http://www.pafoa.org/law/carrying-firearms/open-carry/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DLT 1,646 Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 The libs just don't want people accepting their rights openly. They hate and mock what they don't understand and do everything to spread fear. Their hope is that if people are scared enough, they will sacrifice their rights for perceived security. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This was due to the exact problems you've with PA LEOs who don't like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yakdung 2,926 Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 The media is making a big deal because Houston has become a liberal tar pit. The DA in Houston at the time, was screaming bloody murder when baby Bush first approved concealed carry when he was Governor. One of the single reasons he was elected. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skoodge 22 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Colorado allows open carry without a permit as well, minus the city of Denver. CC required a permit. Who knows how long it will last with our current pos governor. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 I think you can open carry in Michigan.. Not exactly a state known for gun rights seeing as they have pistol registration ect. If open carry ever happens in Florida I'll probably have to get a pair of 'walking around pistols'.. Maybe something like this. Or this Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ruffian72 548 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Kansas has always had open carry, some Anti-gun in Democratic leaning districts, tried to use this reason against CC passage years ago. Said anyone who wanted to defend themselves, didn't need to hide it. Yet were made to be made out as jerks, when numerous examples of their officers harassing those practicing this option. In my rural area, no one even raises an eyebrow. See it more and more in larger metro areas lately, especially with those traveling on 2 wheels, pedal or motor.

Capt Nemo 882 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 You can open carry in WI as well, but you do get harassed by LE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HB of CJ 1,263 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Oregon is also an open carry with a few cities saying no. No opening carry in public schools. CCW carry in public schools OK. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poolingmyignorance 2,191 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Its really so much worse than the media. There are thousands of gun owners, whom are buying and promoting the fear driven agenda. I'm a member on the TexasGunTalk forum and it's like a 100+ page of back and forth of idiot after idiot babbling about all these imaginary scenarios where they're targeted first be recon 7-11 bandits, and ninja holster bandits. Yet when prodded not a single one of them can answer why these problems aren't rampant in all the other open carry states..... people really are fucking retarded. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sim_Player 1,939 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) Uninformed media and people are stupid. It's all that the media can do to instill panic in uninformed people. Anti-gun elitism at it's best. Grasping at straws in a tide that they can't control. They know that 8 years of Pro-gun policies are at the door. Screw them.

jerry52 893 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 You can open carry in Florida if you are hunting, fishing or camping. Most LEs in Florida don't know this so you will be at the least shot and arrested. Personally I do not see the point but do not object to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DLT 1,646 Posted January 2, 2016 Report Share Posted January 2, 2016 Texas liberals are so pissed because they know this basically screws their anti gun lies and proves that in the right hands firearms in public create no additional danger, and now that thousands of people will see this they too will proceed to become lawful gun owners and believers/protectors of their rights. Black, white, hispanic, asian, all on board and not in agreement with the liberals. That's the real reason they fought this so hard. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most LEs in Florida don't know this so you will be at the least shot and arrested. Personally I do not see the point but do not object to it. I believe the open carry issue is a response to the Libtard's calling police if a person accidentally prints/exposes. You know, the Liberal deadly game of calling 911 and having the full force of a police department to respond. I believe open carry is a good thing to watch sheeple urinating on themselves when spotting a gun in public. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only OC legal even in the timeline you say was still only permitted while hunting, fishing, camping, gun shows, or while shooting, and while going to and from such activities.

mancat 2,368 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) The list of OC states is long, much longer than that in the OP. They're pissed off because Texas is the testing ground for developing a unified approach towards securing democrat political victories in red southern states, and they are losing. There are a number of dems that are obsessed with the notion of "turning Texas blue" Look, they are jonesing for it so hard that they are even writing "anticipatory history" articles that salivate at the very idea of it. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/3/16/1370547/-When-Red-States-Turn-Blue-An-Anticipatory-History-of-the-Next-Twenty-Years Anti-gun dems can cry all they want about OC being fully legalized in Texas, but that's not really what they're mad about. They're just upset that they're losing the cultural battle for more conservative states, facing new stiff pushback from voters, despite all of their statistical analysis showing that Texas should be the first big red state to go fully blue.
