I'm all for open carrying when done right. I guess there must be a few bad apples in every bunch. The problem is we don't need to give the gun grabbers more ammo to use against us.
Selective support of the 2A = My way or the Highway.
At what point will it be understood that it doesn't matter how much ammo we give or NOT give the gun grabbers. They have an agenda that they will keep pressing until they get what they want.
Again since there is no open carry of a handgun in Texas the only option for anyone wanting to provide protection for them or their families without a permission slip from their nanny is to carry a long gun. You then would deny them the Right to Keep and Bear Arms because it doesn't fit your ideals.
Tell you what: Back in the day I was a bad apple, a numb nuts or what ever else you want to call me and thousands of people in Ohio, Virginia and many other states. If it were not for those in your face demonstations you would not have what you have today thank you very much. Now when it comes time to stand up and make another statement too many of you Johnny-come-latelys want to hide under the bed.
You have no problem taking advantage of the work done by those that came before you, but forbid that you have to man the frontline and to hell with those that are willing to do so.
Yup, sure, yesiree you sure are a big supporter of the 2A (as long as it doesn't offend your delicate sensibilities).
