Following is my Open Carry Odyssey from Del Rio Texas to Newport News Va. I carried my big XDM 45
TEXAS
It’s very interesting Open Carrying in Texas. Makes the pulse quicken! But I was TRAVELING so I open Carried with impunity at these locations within Texas:
Del Rio- Manuel’s Steakhouse (Excellent Quail!), Lowes, EAB (Immigration checkpoint Didn’t get out of the Truck so I guess it doesn’t count, They took the puppy a lap around the truck, they didn’t infringe on our rights any more by asking questions)
Rock Springs, The bank downtown, The Grocer (I can’t remember the name of the store).
Jonah, KFC, Gas Station
I actually saw several (two) other open carriers around rock-springs. It seems that open carry is expected and practiced here because of the sparseness of the area. There is no 911 to call. I talked with them at length, they always open carry and didn’t know it carrying a weapon was limited in any way in Texas!
Louisiana
Shreveport-Craw Daddy’s, El Dorado resort, Wal Mart, Ranchland Westerwear, Murphy USA Gas Station on Mansfield road,
Bossier City, Tubbs Hardware on Benton Road, Pancho’s,
Notes about El Dorado resort: The guards are not armed..and are very pitiful old fat people I was seen by them and lots of other employees and guests, no issues whatsoever. We Stayed 2 nights there.
Arkansas
One rest area. Gas Station In Little rock
Missouri
Des Arc, Poplar Bluff Wal-mart, Gas Station
Tennessee
Shoney’s in Memphis, Pilot in Stanton , Cracker Barrel in Harriman, La Quinta in Bristol
Virginia
Rest-stops, Top of Afton Mountain, Wood fired buffet in Charlottesville
