To cover a few comments;
Yes open carry of Long Guns is legal, " If you want to go to jail"! I have seen this happen more than one.
Texas Preemption Law is great, " If the state would enforce it in places like San Antonio"!
The rights of Texans to own "keep" guns is just about perfect, " Perfection would come from Texans being able to carry" bear" those arms without infringement".
Defense laws in Texas, " Thats what I like about Mr. Perry the most". Texas is close to perfect with property and self defense. We just need better carry laws so people can actually take advantage of those great laws.
With the effort of dedicated people, Texas Will be Perfect in every way.

As I said, I've other things to do that are more important than chasing down the exact figures for you. Try looking at the maps at Opencarry.org, they'll give a fairly good idea of what laws other states have.
As for the other items you listed: Many other states also have/allow what you're talking about.

First one I checked was WRONG. -> Unlicensed Travelers' Map
You are not required to conceal a gun of any kind while traveling.
No, some states have some of them, none have them ALL.
Here are some states I already know do not have them ALL - LA, FL, NC, VA, PA, NJ, MD, VT, CT, CA, HI, DE, CO, IL, AL, MI, WI, MN, OH, PA, WV, WA, NV, RI, NH, DC, NM.
That is more than half the states right there.
"opencarry.org" focuses on......open carry and tends to run down states that dont have it.
I would be curious to see what they were charged with as they appear to have broken no Texas law.
"Freaking out a cop" is not a crime....if you are not breaking a law, then you are not breaking a law.
My advice to officers is often, "Dont try to make chicken salad out of chicken shit". People who dont break the law shouldnt and typically dont go to jail.

As I have said before, those that only want CC are not as tolerant of those who want to OC as the OC'ers are of the CC'ers. CC'ers seem to think they know better than anyone else, and seem to think that OC'ers are knuckle dragging Neanderthals who can't wipe their own ***.
If you read all of my previous post, you'll see that I said TX has some good laws. I also said that a lot of other states have the same laws, some states have even better laws: Alaska, Vermont & Arizona come to mind. Florida, Colorado, Wyoming and a couple others aren't bad. No, Florida doesn't have OC, but they're close.

I wish you could cover all of Texas, but till then ????
You're right, freaking out a cop isn't a crime, but you'll be in a world of shi* if you do. And people who don't break the law shouldn't go to jail, but there have been numerous cases of a person being "detained"....
I sent you a news article link.. The charges didnt stick,but it still sucks to go through all that crap.
My observations have been that CCers often (not always) have some training and grasp of the tactical benefit of hiding your weapon hidden. OCers are often not trying to protect themselves, but instead are trying to show off.
I really dont care if it is legal or not....it is just unwise to take part in, in most cases.
Did I say they did?
I think he's just trying to be impossible.
I personally think Texas could be much worse, for example California. However we are FAAAAAAAR from perfect and there is much room for improvement.
I take comfort that Texas citizens are probably the most pro gun in the country, and therefore most accepting.
Blade laws for instance. 5.5 inch limit, Only a single side can be sharpened, no automatics. What difference does it make? That is BS.
