Texas is an open carry state. You have to have a permit to carry a pistol which allows you to either open carry or concealed carry. Most people prefer a concealed carry. So do I. The problem is finding a suitable holster. I went to Triple T Holsters today and bought this one. It is custom made for my carry pistol, a Sig Sauer P938. So, I am going to try using this one for a while. It is comfortable to wear, but is hard to put on. I think it is also going to wreak havoc with the car seats. We will see.
