"The open carrying of firearms creates a Wild West atmosphere that is unsettling to many law-abiding people. They don't know if the person packing the pistol is stable or not, whether the gun has its safety on or not or whether it is secured properly from someone grabbing it."

Every time someone speaks about Texas as though it's the unparalleled epitome of gun freedom, I chortle.

Practically California, far as I'm concerned. :p
