Depends on clothing and season. Sort of hard to OC in cold weather clothing. If I OC it's usually only on the bike or on horseback, where it'd be very hard to draw from concealment because of riding gear, even if dismounted. I see OC here fairly regularly. Some folks just refuse to get a CCW because they see it as a gov't. permission slip. Until about four yrs. ago you could not CCW here without a permit, but OC was fine. So a lot of folks did that. Some just don't want to change. I live in horse country, so you see a lot of folks wearing riding gear at a feed and seed place or parts stores OC'ing. No big deal around here and sometimes it's easier than R&R'ing the holster each time to get in and out of the car.
Red, did that penatly change recently? I was last in TX about five yrs. ago and I was very conscious of keeping it concealed when out and about. I also don't know how anyone can know how much of a restaurant's revenue comes from booze vs. food sales if they sell both.
