As far as I know it is not illegal in Texas to carry a shotgun over your shoulder.
Probably open a can of worms if you did that at Wal Mart.

Im all for carry however the hell you want. If you want to hide it, hide it. If you want to break out the holster and make it part of your outfit then wear it proud.
Just be responsible.

Maybe so but I think that wearing a firearm should just about be like wearing shoes.
So in my ideal world it would just be a normal part of life, for most people.
Get up put on your pants shirt and holster and out the door you go.
I mean I can understand covering it up on a cold day with a coat or what not.

Open carry has the potential to make you a target. When you're playing poker, you don't lay all your cards out on the table, do you?

I agree ! besides I don't really want anyone to know I am armed... That makes you a target right off the bat for the bad guys.
I do like open carry for one reason. If your weapon is accidentally seen you don't get hauled in from something like brandishing or not carrying concealed.
