Is it legal to open carry a Mossberg Shockwave in Texas?

It's not a pistol or handgun because it doesn't have a pistol grip and it's not a shotgun because the barrel is less than 18in and has no stock, just a raptor grip. It's ATF classified as a "firearm" and doesn't require tax papers and it's designed to be shot from the waist, not the shoulder.
I bet it would look sexy as hell and badass to see someone open carrying a Mossberg shockwave.
So, is it legal or not to open carry this firearm in Texas? Argue away!

If you can you might have to have it on shoulder strap. In Ohio where used to live it worked that way there. If you walked around with it in your hand it could cause alarm with people thinking you're out to shoot people.

On the shoulder with a strap is what I was thinking. So do people in texas open carry because it looks sexy or because they're actually afraid of getting mugged or something?

I think it's just because they can along with thinking if they don't exercise that right it will go away. Also they are transporting it from one place to another.

I'd laugh, and shake my head...anyone flexing like that is a blowhard. A pistol on the hip is one thing, but carrying big ass guns around is a cry for attention.

Fuck if I know. But here's my uninformed take on it:
I'm guessing part of it just goes back to tradition. Texas was like the proto-wild-west at the time of its admission into the union- which it then seceded from not too long after. Between the frontier, the wars, crime, disputes, and just general farming/ranching life, there were a gazillion reasons to open-carry back then. Including simple convenience. And then they never really changed the laws all that much, and some people never changed their habits/preferences. Do something for long enough, and it just becomes part of your identity.
I have a friend who works in bars who told me that the Texas ATF, or liquor board, or whoever regulates liquor sales in the state, would show up at his bar in Austin in full fatigues with assault rifles on their chests. At a bar that was open for business and filled with customers. To check the tax seals on liquor bottles and other mundane shit like that.
When I was crossing a land border from Mexico into Brownsville a million years ago, the Border Patrol guy who interviewed me and inspected my bags asked me what I did for a living. When I said I was a teacher, he said he used to be one, too. When I asked him what happened, he said he didn't like the kids. But also added "plus, with this job, I get to carry a gun."
I really think some of it is just a fetish.

You're in Texas. You could open and carry an RPG so long as it's in a holster with a snap button.
