Before you go telling someone they can carry a long gun in the state of Texas, make sure you explain that to all Law Enforcement! Even though its legal, the BS "Alarm" part of that is where LE become the problem.You did not even know you could open carry a long arm in Texas, so perhaps you should learn Texas Gun Laws first before you pass judgment on whether they could be better or worse.
And Cliff quotes the opencarry web site, which I have already pointed out contains factually incorrect info.
So it seems to me a lot of the opinions here about Texas guns laws are coming from folks who either do not know Texas Law or are distorting it to fit their own Agenda.
Go to this thread and tell us what you think needs to be improved:
