To our Gun-less Cowboys, I must agree, it seems a little
less like Texas for us not to be able to wear our firearms at our sides. I had
to really contemplate the multitude of consequences for and against the “open
carry” option and I seem to be at an impasse.
Personally, I don’t think people wearing their guns out in public would
make me feel safe at all. I also think that the knowledge of a weapon in close
range would deter would be criminals from an attempted act of robbery, or
anything that could cause harm to another person. My fear would be those
individuals who would see a firearm as a taunt. You could say a challenge of
sport. The probability that one would be more inclined to engage with another
person carrying a weapon seems like only a matter of time in our lovely cowboy
country. Although, I do think it would
be more safe to only allow those with a CHL license, but then again the
possibilities are so endless to the damage that could be done, I am glad I
don’t have to be the one to decide which way I would lean in the end.
