Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
SC open carry starts tomorrow

You mean you couldn't open carry in SC? What a shit hole
All 50 states should be Constitutional carry. Disgusting we ever got so far from that being the law of the land, but here we are...most states seem to be moving in the right direction with carry laws though.
This guy was taking an early morning swim too.
THIS!
The current law in Texas requires a person to have a CHL to carry a handgun openly or concealed. It also requires that the person carry the handgun in a shoulder or belt holster. It also requires a person to have a CHL in order to have state reciprocity.
On Sept. 1, there is no license required to open or conceal carry a handgun. On Sept 1, the provision for shoulder or belt holsters is expanded to include thigh, ankle, wrist or other holsters.
However, one still needs a CHL issued in Texas in order to carry in other states via reciprocity, unless that state also allows constitutional carry. It would be wise to check the laws of those states beforehand.
All other prohibitions in the current law remain after Sept. 1 with regard to places one can carry or are prohibited from carrying.
So many people got in a twit about this law and predicted it would become the wild west if enacted. All it did was remove the need for a license and put law abiding citizens on equal footing with criminals and those currently ignoring the law. What the do-gooders failed to grasp and/or intentionally ignored was Texas law already allows licensed or unlicensed people much latitude on when and where they could carry handguns.
