You know, I actually called my program attorney with [Pre-paid legal service] about this topic on Monday. Lol then on Tuesday I found this site. Anyway, he told me that it was his opinion that the whole "we don't want to lose our alcohol license" defense is a big fat load. He also told me that while I am under no obligation to produce my license for anyone other than law enforcement or a magistrate, Wal-Mart is likewise under no obligation to let me carry in their store, and if I refuse to show them my license they can in turn ask me to leave -- which under 30.07 I am required to do. It basically ends up being a thing where you can swallow your pride and show 'em the license or you can throw a fit about your rights and go shop somewhere else. If displaying the license I am proud to possess is the cost of openly carrying in Wal-Mart, I think I can manage that.

That being said, I have been to Wal-Mart in Lamesa and Lubbock on several occasions with my full-size .45 in a belt holster and have never been asked.
