Texas Businesses Adapt to New Open Carry Law

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission clarifies things for Walmart and everyone else:

TABC Clarifies License to Carry a Handgun (LTC) Verification Requirements for Businesses

Regarding the obligation of a TABC license or permit holder to verify the License to Carry a handgun (LTC) of a person in possession of a handgun on a TABC-licensed premise:

• The Open Carry law did not change the Alcoholic Beverage Code regarding verification of handgun licenses.
• There is nothing in the Alcoholic Beverage Code specifically requiring TABC license/permit holders to ask a person to present his/her License to Carry a handgun (LTC), nor do we encourage them to do so.

That's called addition by subtraction.

The Truth About Guns needs to warn us for those occasions we click a link and there is a picture of the individual who is running away because of GUNS! Comment 1: I'll take "old hippies" for $1,000, Alex. Comment 2: 1963 called, they want their glasses back.

Steiner said he’s not anti-guns, but doesn’t want them in the halls of higher education. Texas faculty have worried allowing guns could have a chilling effect on academic freedom and frank discussions in classrooms. Hippie, please! Chilling effect? What about more communists than conservatives on the faculty?

“I grew up hunting. My father was a Marine and a policeman. I’m not a stranger to firearms in any way,” Steiner said. “I grew up believing there was an appropriate place for guns and it was not in a place of higher education and higher learning.” . Again, hippie please!! You can't even pull off being a Fudd and if your father was a Marine and a LEO you embarrassed the hell out of him. Don't invoke "my Daddy was a Marine", it makes me want to vomit.

[University of Texas President Greg] Fenves has said allowing guns on campus will make it harder to recruit and retain top faculty and students. Steiner’s departure would be the most immediate high-profile result of that prediction. Translation: The sheep are scared. These communists aren't like the KGB, they are sheep who can't tell the wolf from the sheep dog.


Rant over.

Who WOULDN'T want a guy muzzling folks with a slung AK with the safety off?

All the phalangists and Druze that I recall from Lebanon carried their AKs safety off/empty chamber. No idea how he's going to deploy his rifle in an emergency with it slung tight to his back though.

It's amusing how people who are clearly anti-gun so often claim "I'm not anti-gun, but . . ."

Do they not realize that the "but" and everything following it almost always proves beyond reasonable doubt that they are, in fact, anti-gun? Why not just be honest and admit it, or at least not assert that you're not anti-gun when you're going to just prove otherwise with the rest of your comment?

Are they that clueless? I get the emotional reaction and the fear. I get the projection onto other of their own fear that they would do bad things if they had a gun. I get those things, but how stupid do you have to be keep repeating "I'm not anti-gun" and then contradict yourself every time?

Yeah, and don't forget the obligatory reference to hunting.

Oh, yes! The claim of being a hunter (which is often a lie) as an example why they support the 2nd Amendment so clearly illustrates their understanding of that amendment.

Well, that and their amazing reading comprehension.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms for hunting and trap shooting and sh*t, shall not be infringed.

Of similar interest is the classic "My grandfather had a gun, so I'm not anti-gun" meme. Yeah, Pappy had a gun. He'd also be appalled and ashamed that his grandson turned out to be a liberty-hating socialist-statist pu**y and a liar.

But they are anti-gun butt. They don't like faded outlines of guns on the seat of our pants like guy get carrying their can of chew in their back pockets.

Stopped at Chuy's today in Texas, was unimpressed to see this sign when I walked in. I will be sending management a email as well as not stepping foot in their door again.

For the record Chuy's is garbage food compared to the great BBQ and tex-mex located in Texas, I was only grabbing some jalapeño dip to go with homade fajitas...
