76. The advantage of Open Carry Laws is that they offer a choice.
Different situations require different solutions. If Texas were to allow OC, I would still carry concealed. But I can see situation in which a a person may wish to carry openly. Mainly I think such a person would be OC in a rural area (Mainly the Western part of the state.) and not want to switch just to run an errand into a town and back to the ranch. It could be convenient for a few other situations also.

However, there are other items on my guns wish list for Texas before OC. You are right that we need to go in increments.
