Hi! Can I get some feedback about this 911 video in Houston about open carry? [View all]

First of all, hello! I've heard a lot about this group. I never thought I would be posting here, but I have a question about the above video and wanted to know what you make of this.

Here's the reason I found this video and why I'm asking for feedback: I want to make clear that this is not intended in any way to be a Texas or Houston bashing thread. I've thought about moving to Texas for many years and I've been Googling different topics/cities and this popped up, so I watched it. I have to admit that I'm a little speechless about this. The video is voiced over by the 911 calls, but at the end you can hear the convo between the cops and the open carry people.

I'm in California and don't know if this would be complete culture shock for me going to Texas. What do you all think of this? This would freak me out, I have to admit.

(I'm not a very good linker, but I'll try to make it so the video appears instead of just the URL...)
