In reply to the discussion: Texas Handgun Open Carry Bill Clears Legislature [View all]ManiacJoe
(10,138 posts)73. Actually most criminal bikers do self identify via the "colors" they wear.
Did you see who they all played the innocent little lambs out the restaurant in Texas having hidden their weapons in the flour sacks and tortilla chips, then sat out their looking like they did nothing as by that time they were not armed?
The reason they were able to do that is because they were concealed carrying without holsters.
Open carry requires holsters. Holsters indicate gun possession, which is not legally available to the 1 Percenters. The cops know who the locals are and whether or not they are legally allowed to have weapons.
Are some of the 1 Percenters legal for gun ownership and carrying? Absolutely. They are the ones designated to do so within the gang. Everyone else only illegally carries (concealed) when it is absolutely necessary; none of them will illegally carry openly.

Just imagine, Bandidos sporting AR-15s as they cruise on by. One hopes they won't take time to aim.

I don't think they're going to wear badges that say 'HELLO: FELON HERE' on themselves.
