re: Texas police dept tries to calm people about new open-carry gun law

Some folks, mainly reporters, act like this is some big deal. Open carry has been legal in many states, including Louisiana, for decades with no permit needed, but you rarely see anyone doing it.

Allowing Texans with permits to open carry, when most of them will not choose to do so, is going to be a big non-event.

I'm sure there will be a few attention whores who will strap on and go to the local McDonalds or wherever the TV cameras are for the first week or so, then it will settle down to nothing.
