Texas’ new open carry laws go into effect on Jan.1, and the Round Rock Police Department is working to spread awareness.

The new laws mean firearm owners will be able to carry their guns in a waist or shoulder holster in most areas, current laws say gun owners must conceal their weapons.

 

 QUOTES TO REMEMBER
You are bound to meet misfortune if you are unarmed because, among other reasons, people despise you....There is simply no comparison between a man who is armed and one who is not. It is unreasonable to expect that an armed man should obey one who is unarmed, or that an unarmed man should remain safe and secure when his servants are armed. In the latter case, there will be suspicion on the one hand and contempt on the other, making cooperation impossible. — Niccolo Machiavelli in "The Prince."
