I want the surprise...not the attention....only plus I can see in Tx getting open carry is if it is written to stop the punitive action if a coat rides up or shirt flies up on a CCW permit holder...and it may not be written that way...with open carry, it seems that there would be no more need to punish those who printed or accidently displayed....but I can't see myself carrying in town...unless all hell breaks loose, in which I will be carrying openly anyways...you and I will BE the local law enforcement...the sworn officers will be busy defending the government and will be needing all the help they can get....I can't see "setting up" situations to force LEOs to act, provoking something, then suing either for money or to make a point...that's not what responsible gun owners would do.....now, if an open carry citizen was minding his own business, acting within the letter and spirit of the law, and was misused by authorities who knew better and were just being oppressive...or by private business owners who did wrong...then I'd support him in using the legal process in getting it stopped and changed for the right.....
Bottom line for me....concealed carry gives me the best advantage against evil, and causes me and LEOs and other citizens much less concern....and that's my choice....requires a bit more diligence...sometimes a bit uncomfortable...but that's the way I can serve my country and my fellow man...I don't mind at all....
