Here in Texas. I open carried as a youngster. Going into town to pick stuff up for my Dad. Also had a rifle in a rack in the back of the truck. Not 2 legged critters we carried for then. Was no big deal.

Today I conceal carry in town/public. I much prefer it. I am secure in my safety. I do not advertise I am armed and I feel I have the advantage there. So if Open Carry was legal here I would still CC. I occasionally open carry here on the ranch. Mainly during spring when snakes are waking up. I also open carry at the office depending on what holster setup I have that day.

I find the entire thing (open carry issue) silly here in Texas. I can walk down Main Street with a fully loaded AK47 over my shoulder and am perfectly legal. Open carry a .22 pistol and I am a felon. Silly aint it?
