I am a member of another Concealed Handgun Forum and thought I would post over here as well:
On our way to our property in Jacksboro, we ran across a downed fence and about 6 horses milling about the two lane highway where the speed limit is 70MPH. My wife looked up Jack County Non-Emergency number and called it in, while I did my best to start getting the horses back behind the fence. While there, another truck arrived, and we found they were the owners, and appreciated the help. Jack County Sherriff's Deputy arrives and we all start "herding" the reluctant horses back into the fence. They had obviously found that the grass was indeed greener on the other side, and wanted to graze more than move. While running back and forth, and a lot of hand waving, we finally managed to get the horses back on their side of the fence, and off the highway. It is then that the Deputy approaches, asks if we called it in, and thanked us. As we were turning to leave, he calls out "Oh, and Sir, you started Open Carrying about 20 minutes ago. If you could go back to Concealed Carry, that would be great." He got in his cruiser and pulled away chuckling as we waved.
No blood in the street, no parentless orphans, no lightning strikes, nada....I was kind of disappointed.
