Group wants to carry guns in plain view

The jury is still out for me on this one... I ran across this article today and feel the need to read up some more on the whole concept, before I can decide how I feel about it, mixed thoughts on it at this time, and as usual, I always have an in depth conversation with PC too. So much can be said on this topic, and you all know how I feel about carrying and being prepared, but, again... There's much to be thought of here before making a decision on which way I lean on this one.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Despite the Lone Star State’s love affair with the gun, there’s at least one firearms restriction that some Texans want lifted.

Texas is just one of six states in which handguns can’t be worn in plain view. The other 44 states, in the parlance of gun advocates, are known as “open-carry” states.

More than 3,500 people have signed an online petition asking Gov. Rick Perry and the Legislature to permit Texans to wear their handguns without concealing them.
