Several bills have been introduced to allow 'open carry,' in Texas and Governor-Elect Greg Abbott says he is ready to sign an open carry bill. Meanwhile, the well organized, Bloomberg-funded group 'Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America' says it is prepared to fight Open Carry legislation, saying it will make it a lot tougher for police to tell the 'good guys' from the 'bad guys' on city streets. [More]It's actually pretty easy once you learn to recognize some of the signs, like the bad guys are the ones attacking people.
And there's plenty of evidence, fraudulent protestations of the agenda-driven D. Roger Enriquez and the laziness of the "real reporter" notwithstanding.

The actual difference between the behavior of armed citizens and armed criminals is taught by men like Marc "Animal" MacYoung, of No Nonsense Self Defense and the Armed Citizens' Defense Network. There are pre-attack indicators that, with training, make armed criminals pretty easy to spot.
But the statists would rather make the determination this way: 1) cope sees person with gun, 2) cop shouts "GUN!" 3) cop shoots person with gun, 4) person with gun dies in a pool of his blood, 5) anti's dance in said blood.
I'll take "Animal's" approach, myself.
I've never heard of a cop that has more than a few months on the force that can't tell a Good Guy from a Bad Guy within the first 30 seconds or so.
If they can't do that, they shouldn't be a cop.
For some strange reason, the peace officers in my area don't have any problems with that. But telling the difference is really not even their job.
That is up to the individual who might become the intended victim. It is our responsibility to watch for these criminals, and do what it takes to stop them if they attack.
The "cop" is irrelevant in that equation, and can almost always be counted on to make it worse if he/she gets involved.
Joe Strauss remains a problem.
How to solve this? See here about this problem:

Easiest way to do it:
Step 1: Look up all statutes prohibiting or limiting OC.
Step 2: Introduce bill repealing those statutes, or insert the repeal language into another bill.
Step 3: pass it.
