The big fear among the CHL community is that if OC passes, the same business owners that posted their property in 1995-1997 will go back to posting again, big ugly sign rule notwithstanding, if those scary OC pistols are out in plain sight. The 'out of sight, out of mind' situation will no longer be the case. So the CHL holders that have enjoyed a very wide latitude in where they can carry will find their territory restricted so that a subset of the 2A community can open carry.
This is why you won't get open carry unless there is a lawsuit in TX, or possibly a State with similar laws or it is made clear by the US Supreme Court.

The legislature of the State of Florida, in a declaration of policy
incorporated in its “Weapons and Firearms” statute, recognizes that adult
citizens of the state retain their constitutional right to keep and bear firearms
for hunting and sporting activities and for defense of self, family, home, and
business and as collectibles.
