Finally, after all of these years! Not constitutional carry yet, but giant steps in the right direction. Take a bow Texans - you've earned it.
Dave Workman said:Police can approach anyone open carrying to ask to see their handgun license.

Today I took a class specifically dealing with the new open carry. I'm going to tell you now, if you are a fan of open carry, quit reading.

Old, trite but nevertheless true saying: "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" - may you all have a pleasant journey.We heard the same here in Oklahoma. And it started before Open Carry took affect here.

Yes there are going to be some LEO who don't know or think they can bully you. But most leave you alone. My advice is study the law learn it and as wrong as it is to have to have permission to carry follow the law. Be polite to everyone LEO included. We need to show the public that good and caring law abiding people have guns too. We are not around to hurt them We just want to make it home safe with or families.
And as case law is there to make stop and ID just because you're carrying nothing more than harassment, and as there is no valid basis for disarming, each instance that they do so will become the reasons for 2017 legislative changes similar to what they had to do related to illegal 30.06 signage.

Problem is this new law specifically requires showing permit on demand by LEO. Court or legislature is going to have to fix this.
