Living i Houston myself I would not have a problem with any individual open carrying.
However I would agree with this submission that I would have a problem with this person. In the scenario you put forward this person would be impersonating an officer of the law which is illegal. It is also setting up a scenario where you are outwardly lying to everyone around you and should promote distrust. If he was infacet a leo then he is hiding his identity as a leo. This too causes distrust. If he wanted to hide his identity as a leo he should have gone concealed. If he was a leo and wanted to open carry show your badge. If he was not a leo and wants to push the boundaries past the edge of what is legal for a personal polital reason lose the fake badge or empty badlge holder and carry OWB not IWB. To make a political statement you should go whole hog with it not timidly let it poke out from the top of your pants.
