Anyone planning on doing the Walmart walk 1/1/2016 ? As long as reciprocity remains the same and allows me to Open carry in Texas I will as long as I have gas to drive down from Oklahoma.
Probably not Walmart, but more than likely my normal activity (which never involves Walmart.)
Which reminds me, I still have to make or find a better looking holster for the full size pistols.

i offered to meet up with a gaggle of folk on the first in which ever city they chose...the offer is still sitting on the table.

I would strongly advise easing into this heretofore uncharted territory. Yep....I'm one of those "discreet open carry"...or...concealed carry ... when prudent... dudes..and guess what...? I've never had a problem with my approach to carry.
Those citizens who are bent upon ushering in January 1, 2016 ...as though they were hands on a cattle drive arriving in town during the 1870's......
.....will only create problems in the long run.
Remember...."Extremism always brings about its own destruction"....or at least its own impediments.
Had the same kind of talk here in Oklahoma. I know before it was legal here I was not sure if I was going to or not. I decided to open carry for the first day. After I saw it was a non issue I decided to do it for a few more. Again seeing that it was a non issue I have now been carrying open for almost 3 years. Wear what you want ( ignore clothes Nazis ). Carry what you want ( as allowed by law). Carry were you want ( again allowed by law). There will always be people who do not like that you are using your right ( even thought it is being treated as a privilege ) using their right to tell you .Thanks for the tip, I guess, assuming you mean well and all.
You're wrong on a few points, and probably wrong on others. I'll appreciate you trying to help, but I doubt I'll really accept your advice.
Ease into it as opposed to "usher in as though they were hands on a cattle drive"? Well, I hadn't really thought of riding through downtown on a horse with my six-shooter and level-action, but now that you mention it, that sounds like a blast!
Seriously though - the discussion here is about beginning to open carry once it is legal. What exactly can "ease into" it mean, other than to refrain from open carrying even though it is legal? Hardly the attitude of an OC advocate or activist, I'd say. So, again, thanks, but no thanks.
