I just held a phone interview with Matt Thomas of KRLD 1080 AM, part of CBSradio news. Since Oklahoma is now attempting to repeal their open carry ban, Texas should be next in line if we start pursuing our news contacts and legislators. I will update this with news of when the interview will go on the air.

A vote in Oklahoma is expected to renew the push here in Texas for an open-carry law.
It's unclear whether the governor of Oklahoma will sign off, but yesterday the state house voted overwhelmingly to approve allowing gun owners with permits to openly carry their weapons in public. There's been a movement for years here in Texas for the state's conceal carry law to be changed to allow licensed owners to carry handguns in plain sight, but it's always faced opposition from those who believe allowing it would be intimidating to those who don't own guns. Others worry the wrong people could wrestle away a person's gun. But, thousands in Texas have signed a petition aimed at pushing lawmakers to allow law-abiding citizens to carry their guns in plain sight. The debate will no doubt heat up ahead of the next legislative session here in Texas in January.
This segment may air today at 2pm Central time.
and a open carry poll on the front page. hit it.
