NRA has waffled. First statement blamed on a staffer's personal opinions. "Downright weird" seems to have been disavowed.
I reckon an AR-15 at low carry would upset some people, me included. If Texas Open Carry is trying exercise their 2A rights, they've found a very ineffective way to get people to be comfortable with that right.
I fully agree with this part of the NRA statement which may not have been retracted.
"Using guns merely to draw attention to yourself in public not only defies common sense, it shows a lack of consideration and manners. That's not the Texas way. And that's certainly not the NRA way,"

Long guns like rifles can be carried openly but must be done so in a way that does not cause alarm. But gun holders can be charged with disorderly conduct if anyone around them feels threatened."
