Pretty rare in Granbury, I notice about one per weekBesides yourself, have you seen any open carry recently? I can't remember the last time I saw anyone do it.
<>I see at least two every weekend, more if I run by the gun shop. Use to see a lot more in Wally World, but seems the past year they have cracked down on open carriers. Manager came up to me and told me to cover up, she was polite about it and since she was, I did consent to her wishes for that day only. We went over the whole sign shit, which they do have it written extremely small "We refrain customer to open carry". Told her it was not a valid sigh and will not hold up, the assistant manager had my back and told her it was not legal and was told that the sign was such many, many times. I then told her, next time I come in, I will be open carrying and if she wants to trespass me, then that's her right, but be prepared for the outcome.
Actually not a dumb question. I’ve lived in Texas all my life, and I can honestly say that OC is not very common outside of LE and security in these parts. Umberger I see is up near Amarillo, more rural and probably is common to see a lot of OC. Not so much in the big cities and suburbs.A bunch, nah..a hell lot of them, and sometimes me.
This is Texas. Dumb question…..trying to get a post count up?
Good point Grumps....and every time you go for a horse ride up here you are gauronteeeed to find a rattler....better have something with you easy to access!A bunch, nah..a hell lot of them, and sometimes me.

You think having a firearm decal (NRA) for example invites trouble in getting jumped ?Kind of like putting firearm decals all over your vehicle, just asking to get jumped in a parking lot.
As I understand it, the owner of the establishment or even your mother-in-law has the final say on whether you can open-carry on their premises, hell with any signs. Is easier to simply "cover up" and avoid hassles. They can ask you to kick your shoes off at the door or have a dress code. Open carrying is the same thing to me.I see at least two every weekend, more if I run by the gun shop.

Hell, for a NRA sticker, old ladies will probably slice your tires.You think having a firearm decal (NRA) for example invites trouble in getting jumped ?

We are saying the same thing here. We will disagree though on the relevance of the questionWell, there's a big difference between Umbarger, an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Randall County with an estimated population of 327 in 2000 and Houston, the most populated city in Texas and the southwest US with 2.3M+ residents.
No, you will not see a lot of OC in large, Democratically-run cities like Houston, DFW or Austin. Even in San Antonio, it's not that common downtown; but get your ass out into the real Texas and you will see OC a helluva lot more!
And yes, it is a dumb question. Who cares? We have the right, and those who choose to exercise it can and will do so.
Move on to more important matters...
