You would think that if the law was supposed to preclude open carry in the hands then they would have stated no open carry in the hands instead of specifying open carry via belt or shoulder only. I am not sure open pocket carry w a holster would be legal (butt protruding from pocket), open ankle carry, open chest carry (some hunting rigs), open neck carry (e.g., NAA mini revolvers), or open drop leg would be legal.

I'd be surprised if a great deal of thought went into the holstering provision of the law. I think they just chose the most common methods of securing holstered handguns and went with them. There was no holstering provision under the previous concealed carry law, so it's all new ground.
I'm unfamiliar with TX regs on airsoft devices and other non-firearms, so have no idea how any of this would affect them. That being said, I have no idea why anyone would carry an airsoft device in public. Last edited by csmsss; June 11, 2015 at 11:04 AM. |

After the novelty wears off (oh, maybe 6 months later), do you think there will be all that much open carry?

I don't know what percentage of carry is OC in Arizona or Virginia, but I don't think it's a majority or close to it, and I can't imagine Texas would be that different.
It makes life a lot easier in instances where, even though you normally carry concealed, it might be more convenient to temporarily open carry. There won't be any more potential for loss of license due to transient OC.

No. I doubt we will see much. First, the number of concealed carriers is small compared to the entire population. Most of them, according to surveys, hardly ever carry. Many TX CHLs supported the rule in the abstract but thought that OC was silly.
Thus, we won't see many, IMHO.

Most of the public shenanigans were done as protest, and the cause for that protest has been addressed. Of course, that hasn't stopped their fans from engaging in a bit of self-serving revisionism.

I have no plans to change anything I am doing but we will see. I was amazed that we elected politicians that claimed support while campaigning and then when elected actually passed and signed legislation. Must be another Texas thing.

Sounds like printing with a pocket pistol could get you in a jam. I don't plan on being a test case either. I will still use a good pocket holster that prints like a wallet.

One lawyer/Law firms perspective on Texas Open Carry and LEO stopping and asking for CHL without PC.
Note he uses "without Probable cause" instead of RAS. Interesting he would make or not make that distinction. Quote:

Officers stop and ID people all the time.... I'm not sure why people think it's suddenly going to stop because of open carry laws.
I have had encounters with police for no apparent reason on numerous occasions, mostly because they are looking for someone else. Maybe it's my economic class, who knows. Happens to my contemporaries as well. Modest to small sized communities, the police, lawyers and judges are all on the same team, I doubt this will change how police make contacts. If an officer wants to stop you because you are open-carrying, it will happen with the support of the local judiciary. People think that there's a perfect world where officers, DAs and judges follow the rules tightly, but it's not. Everyone fudges a little just to get the job done. Such is the life of the working man that drives an old car.
