No open carry, except on your premises, or premises under your control.
Concealed carry with CCH permit. Concealed means presence of which is not openly discernible to the ordinary observation of a reasonable person.

haha cowboy,

Your not in the desert anymore, (not sure if you were there) but i understand your wants. Its wierd when you carry everyday openly , and then now you cant. Just remember that your lucky to even have one and youll be ok.

I think it's deceptive to call Texas a no open carry state. The open carry prohibition only applies to handguns; openly carried long guns can be carried anywhere a concealed handgun can be, and they can be loaded.

There is a bill right now that may come up for a vote in the first session that would make it lawful to open carry.

I've been monitoring Opencarry.org.'s website daily for about six months now, when I signed the petition for open carry I was 19,649 there are now over 53,000 signatures and growing (most since the election). I went to Austin on the opening day of the Legislature and met up with a couple of fellow patriots, a well planned convergence on the Capitol is in the works. Pray for us, and join us if you can!

OK this is my first post here. I am moving from Katy to SA next week. Those of you familiar with Houston know exactly why I am moving after 9 years here.

Anyhow it is good this topic is being discussed. I am familiar with Wyoming laws concerning OC and pretty much you can wear a firearm anywhere you want. (Unless it is posted that firearms are prohibited on the property). I have gained much interest in getting my CCP and now with our new CIC it seems the time is short for our liberties concerning weapons.

I will follow this thread with interest. It seems there are numerous LEO and former military folks here. I was a LEO for 12 years and active duty for 12 years as well.
