Jeebus.... yet another ADDITIONAL tax to be able to open-carry?
So.... one permit to carry concealed, one permit to carry open... what happens if you're open-carrying and put on a coat, then it's concealed, but you don't have your concealed permit? Is that concealing when you're only permitted open carry? I mean come on... let's get some dang common sense here, folks!!!!
<edit> I see S.B. 1092 from 2007 amending S.B. 357-TRS which has to do with employer tax contributions to the Teacher's Retirement System. I'll keep looking for full text.

here we go again ........I am not going to pay more for open carry.
+1 on this!
so basically everyone of us that already has a ccw would have to pay to take another ridiculous class and then pay another ridiculous amount of money to carry another little card so that we have the ability to carry open if we so desire? Well guys I'll lube you if you lube me because it sounds like we are all gonna have to bend over and take it if we want open carry.
I will continue to CCW because I really don’t want anyone to know that I'm carrying. Since I carry IWB the wording in this wouldn't really protect me from inadvertently printing/brandishing when tying my shoes etc. because my holster isn’t designed to be even partially visible. Not that that really happens to me but I would like some degree of protection from that. What really would be nice is specific language that said CCW Permit holders can carry open, concealed or anything in-between.
