I have yet to see someone open-carrying here in Texas, thank god.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Tickets for Hamilton in Chicago go on sale on Tuesday. I'm pondering going.
I looked at the Facebook page for the open-carry Pride thing. There are a lot of people posting stuff about how they don't care if "the gays" don't want them to open-carry at Pride, because gay people have no right to complain about not liking what other people do, since they "force their lifestyle on us" all the time. Yeah, that's really going to make people feel safe.
How about the actual gay people stay off the parade route and drive a convoy of backfiring cars down neighboring streets?
Every marcher in the parade should carry signs that say "we don't need guns to compensate". Or they could open carry tgemselves.
I hold firm that if a lot of people of color and women and LGBTQ people started open carrying outside general sporting events or like straight strip clubs or other places dominated by cis straight white men, open carry would be banned everywhere.
The problem is that when people of color open carry even toy guns, they get shot by cops.
Well sure with your logic and stuff, but maybe not at a parade while you know, in the parade.
One can hope!
I'm just saying -- if I weren't white, I wouldn't even make finger guns.
