Happy first Monday of the new year, y’all and the year begins with an interesting juxtaposition of sorts.
Here in Texas we rang in a new statute. Texas became the 45th state
of the Union to allow open carry of firearms, just over 30 states allow
that without permit, And some 13 states require an open carry permit.
What shall I be doing? I’m fine with being able to carry my weapon
concealed, but I’m glad I have the choice — understanding that choice is
more than just killing babies. There are still five states that don’t
allow open carry in any manner — California, New York, Illinois,
Florida, and South Carolina.
Not quite right about Florida.

The exception is:
(h) A person engaged in fishing, camping, or lawful hunting or going to or returning from a fishing, camping, or lawful hunting expedition;
So always carry a fishing pole with you. Granted most law enforcement are not aware of or don't care about this exception.
