Online Petition for Open Carry Law in Texas

It seems like there may be quite an interesting development in the Texas legislature as they get ready to consider a proposal for open carry of handguns in Texas.

For those of you who are interested you can read or sign the online petition here:

Be aware. Be informed. Be prepared.

Thanks everyone! Whether you are for or against it, you should still be aware of important possible changes in the law that will affect everyone.

Signed this a while back. It would be great if we were given back our right to be armed.

I find it very surprising that TX doesn't have Open Carry. AZ,NV,WA,ID,MT,WY and not Texas?

It's been out for a while but a push is on with the legislature starting up.

Texas has a great castle doctrine and has recently modified the "traveling" laws concerning guns but is still lacking in the open carry department for handguns.

A CITIZEN WHO SHIRKS HIS DUTY TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SECURITY OF HIS COMMUNITY IS LITTLE BETTER THAN THE CRIMINAL WHO THREATENS IT.

Everyone has a responsibility to protect themselves and thus create less of a burden on others. Thanks.

I just want to let everyone know that Jerry at Texas Guns / Texas Thunder Range has done a couple of press interviews that could have been detrimental to the Open Carry movement with regards to public opinion.

I used to always defend this guy. I have seen and heard SOOO many negative comments about this man. I was in his concealed carry class when he tried to embarrass me for supporting open carry. I was OK with that, but going to the Press and trying to hijack the movement just so HE can continue to charge $170 for CC classes is too much for me. I will take my business elsewhere.
