I visit TX from time to time and am always irritated by the prohibition of open carry. I've been trying to think of various ways to get people in TX to realize how silly the law is and had an idea for a t-shirt. The idea is that you sort of pseudo-open carry by having a shirt that announces you are concealing. Essentially, what happens is that since you just told the world about it, you aren't really concealing at all.
My idea for the shirt would be for it to say something like this on the front:
"I'm legally concealing a handgun for self defense today." (With an arrow pointing to the area of the shirt that is covering the gun and a dotted line outlining the shape of a gun.)
And on the back:
"I have nothing to hide. It's time to legalize open carry."
My first question is if this satisfies the requirements of conceal carry law. Does the fact that my t-shirt would disclose that I am carrying mean that I am not actually concealing, according to TX law?
Secondly, what do you think of the idea? Do you have an idea for better wording? Do you think I'm crazy?
