When was the last time you saw someone open carry?

This is actually super funny but I was at the MD Anderson in Sugar Land yesterday and all the signs on the doctors offices explicitly say no handguns allowed. That made me think that I need to get a SBR for my carry when I go to the doctor . haha. That for sure will require open carry. Their signs don't forbid open carry just that you don't have a handgun.

Is the location subject to
Sec. 46.03. PLACES WEAPONS PROHIBITED.
(a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly possesses or goes with a firearm, location-restricted knife, club, or prohibited weapon listed in Section 46.05(a):
…

(11) on the premises of a hospital licensed under Chapter 241, Health and Safety Code…

If so, signage is irrelevant.

I think it was 3 or so years ago... I was in lake Charles, I'm coming out my hotel room on a business trip and I see this tow truck driver with a glock hanging off the pocket of his sweat pants

That was the only time I've ever seen open carry..

I've done "partial concealment" a number of times myself for comfort sake, shoulder holster under an open button up or OWB holster covered by a polo shirt... but I've never gone full on wild west haha.

Wasn't that adjusted a few years ago to require signage to be valid?....

The 46.15 (p)DNA is what you’re referring to and deals with license holders with a handgun and the 30.06/30.07/red signs for 51% locations, hospitals, and amusement parks. But the poster mentioned an SBR, which is a firearm, so the DNA does not apply.

Wore open carry yesterday when I was looking at trucks. Nobody was concerned, in fact the manager commented on how nice it looked. They also weren't intimidated in getting me to purchase a truck.
