#2 Texas is a bit5 of an oddity - open carry for long arms, but only concealed carry for handguns. Until now I guess.

Now if they can pass concealed carry on campus. Kinda stupid a 22 year old veteran with a CC permit is not able to carry when he's going to class at a local community college.

#3 Boy that is a loaded op/ed.

To be sure, Texas has always allowed residents to carry long runs, like rifles and shotguns, in the open, a nod to its pioneer past and living ranch legacy.

I have a long run too....to the beer joint. Bang bang shoot pistol cowboy bullet boom boom.

Sideways topic, didn't get to comment on badanov's TWIG because I was knee deep talking about Kansas' Constitutional Conceal Carry with an eye roller.

Now Kansas has been open carry for as long as I can remember. Observation is that the only people outside LEOs who open carry are farmers and ranchers, on account of snakes/coyotes/bobcats/trespassers (livestock thieves and drug peddlers).

#4 Deacon, Tennessee still requires a carry permit for handguns, concealed or open carry. As of 2014 there is no longer a requirement for a permit to have a handgun in your car. A lot of people have confused the vehicle exemption with not needing a permit to carry at all. If you're walking around in public and have a handgun on you, then you are "supposed" to have a carry permit.

#5 Another good thing to know about Tenessee gun laws is that if you are carrying without a permit and you have to justifiably use deadly force in self-defense of the defense of another, you will not be prosecuted for illegal carry.
