A lawyer, who is a major insider in NRA and TSRA, who has helped write all the positive CHL legislation currently in place (and who has many major improvements scheduled for 2009), has previously expressed his concerns like this (my paraphrase):
"Texans enjoy CHL in so many places because they are invisible to the sheeple. If open carry frightened the soccer moms, they would demand that 'somebody do something!', both legislatively and through increased posting of 30.06 notices. The end result could be a net loss to legally armed Texans."
Still, he favors licensed legal carry. He's just expressing a valid concern about its affect, and explaining why many who are deeply involved in CHL legislation will fight OC out of fear.
I favor an Alaska licensing system, but with New Hampshire's restrictions on places off limits (none, except court rooms).
I would accept, as a first step toward that goal, legal open carry for anyone who may legally carry concealed.
I also hope to see one's conveyance --not just automobiles, but any form of conveyance-- be legally established as an extension of the home. This would be for all purposes, not just firearms.
