1. Licensed?

Doesn't that mean background check? Registered firearms? Security may be looking for the illegal guns unlicensed people may be carrying.

Good place to hold a gun buy back program.

2. Yes on the background check, no on registration.

Only about 7 or 8 states have registration requirements of any kind, and Texas isn't one of them. But yes, open carry requires a concealed carry license in Texas, and getting that license requires a background check.

3. It cracks me up that people are having fits over TX's new open carry law, yet,

most states are open carry states, most without even requiring a license.

5. That map is inaccurate, in Missouri, you need a CC permit/license, at least from what I heard...

I still don't understand why people are so willing to have untrained people carrying around extremely lethal weapons everywhere.

4. Heh. You can vote with a TX carry license. Stricter standards.
