There's word that they're thinking about implementing the `open carry` laws in Texas too.
I'm assuming the reasoning behind this is if everyone is carrying a gun where it can be see there will be a reluctance to shoot someone knowing they can shoot back. The ultimate deterrent? It would be interesting to find out if Ohio's gun related incidents have been reduced as a result of the open carry policy but I can't be bothered looking for myself. Can any of our US friends elucidate us?
