There have been recent stories of police harassing people that use the law in PA, legal or not.

Yeah its not recomended, during hunting season maybe but you may have some questions asked if you walk down main st with a rifle.

here is what made me aware of that law, ive passed thru my small town with my shotgun before during rabbit season but neaver really though of breaking out my ar 15 like this guy did open carry rifle/shotgun??

Looking through Texas gun laws for the last 30 minutes, it looks like carrying a long gun is not a problem.

You would probably be arrested for "disorderly conduct" or some such if you tried to make a point out of it.

The law doesn't say you can. It mostly just doesn't mention long guns.

Yup. Used to live in hurst also.
The issue is open carry is not allowed here in Texas. to carry it MUST be concealed. Hard to do with a rifle.

P.S. You should come down for our next meet up. I drive up to seagoville every month for the Army. 2 1/2 hours. not bad

My understanding from having lived in TX, that long guns don't fall under the concealed/open carry regulations applied to handguns. Back in the day there were plenty of shotguns and rifles hanging on racks in the back of pickups.

Legal or not, I'd bet carrying a rifle on a downtown street is likely to get some attention from some uniformed folk. Like Crotalus said, it may be a threat of disturbing the peace or something similar, but not a firearm violation.

Had a cool Dr. visit today. I brought up doing some straightening/cleaning up in my reloading/computer room and it peaked her interest. She stated she carries, so we had a bit of show and tell there in her office, her HK and my NAA pug (at the time). The more I get to know this Dr., the better I like her...that was until she gave me a shot in the tail end.
