So, open carry passed in Texas...
I just heard on the news that open carry of hand guns passed in Texas. How do you think that's going to effect the hobby world? Pretty sure providers don't want us showing up at their door strapped.

Will be interesting to see if the death rate by handguns go up.
I would like them to bring back the gunfight at noon in the quadrangle myself.
It's going to make cops jobs a lot harder i think.

The brilliance of carrying a gun, concealed or open carry, never ceases to baffle me.

I am positive it is the same if you conceal carry and visit a lady. That would probably be an unwelcome surprise. If you do carry, just leave it in your car to avoid any unwanted attention by onlookers or providers.

Pistol Marks would probably take it out and play with it - after unloading it of course - gotta practice safe handling practices.

Every cop that I ask is all for it. Anyone carrying has to go through the CHL training and all of the background checks. So they know if your carrying your not the type that's going to use it for the wrong reasons.

Open carry is a who knows what's going to happen scenario.
If criminals enter an establishment and see you are carrying openly, you become a first target. you are an immediate threat to the completion of their crime.
Or.......
If criminals enter an establishment and see you are carrying openly, they may leave and head to the nearest Starbucks or other gun free zone that has no immediate threats.
As for hobby changes, probably very few. If a providers peeps out to see just how fat my ass is before she opens the door and sees a Glock holstered on my side, she will not bother opening the door.

BINGO! I actually got an ass chewing from a DPS Trooper for NOT carrying even though I had a CHL. He was kewl though and let me go with a "thou shalt carry" warning.

Through business, I have dealt with Carrollton PD. I ask them the same question. Basically, They aren't going to do anything. They feel that after the "new" wears off most will quit because of it being a pain. Those that continue to carry openly, the police said that those people are just looking for attention. I have a CHL...... I carry in my vehicle mostly, very seldom to I carry on me. As for carrying one to see a provider, Smart guy will leave it in the car. Where is the need to take it in?

my problem is even before the gun law has taken effect, and with no Glock at my side... the Providers who peep out and see me don't bother opening the door

this makes sense to me.. I suspect we'll have a good read on how it will play out in the next 3-4 months..

Great point...the novelty will wear off, most who have a CHL don't carry consistant nor have the training or guts to draw down in a real gunfight. I have some experience in this area and I can tell you that you don't want to be that guy whose gun is sticking out like a sore thumb.
Your the first person I am going to shoot.

We'll see how it plays out next year.
With all this crazy terrorist stuff going on, i think we will see some policy changes at places like restaurants, bars, and clubs where they will prohibit it from their establishments.

I doubt that most CHL holders will actually wear their firearm when going to meet a provider. If something happens and LE shows up, possession of a firearm during another alleged crime adds up to serious charges.
Mine stays locked up in my car for such visits.

Open carry for every day normal situations seems silly. Why make yourself a target?
I'm all for it, but I don't want to be the first guy in the room to get shot at or jumped from behind.
