Thanks, David, for the link to the Dallas FAQs. The parts about where one may and may not carry would apply statewide. I especially liked the anti-swatting section. The advice to parents whose children ask about carrying was good also. It was a pleasant surprise considering the makeup of elected officials in Dallas County and DPD Police Chief.
Longbow, sometimes it is necessary to "go along in order to get along". A wise man chooses his battles carefully. I have sampled the accommodations in county lockup and have no great desire for a return visit. Please note: I don't - AT ALL - like/appreciate/approve of having to get permission to openly bear arms. However, I am happy to finally be able to openly carry in my home state. BTW, no "begging" was involved in obtaining said permission. I DID have to get a very brief overview of Texas law regarding firearms (it SHOULD have had much, MUCH more about TPC Chapter 9 - Justification For Use of Force) and I had to prove I was at least minimally able to hit what I was aiming for. I found no part of the process to be at all onerous.
That's fine as long as you have your permission slip from the State. Don't forget to beg permission first!
