The problem with this argument is that you are willing to sacrifice my ability to carry and protect myself and family in stores I choose to trade with, or am forced to trade with, simply to enlighten you on the store owners' political positions. I'm not willing to let you make that decision for me and my family.

I am not making any decision for you or anyone else, you make your own decisions, which are apparently influenced by the store owner when he prohibited carry of any kind. I am also not prohibiting anyone from carrying, again it seems the owner has with the prohibition of carry.

So let me get this straight. One of the arguments against OC is that ant-gun businesses will learn how to legally prohibit open carriers as well as CHLers. That seems like a good thing, now I would no longer have to wonder if my purchases were supporting someone with political views I do not support.
I do understand the reluctance of those that enjoy CHL and are scared they would lose the right to carry in some places due to the OCers. But if OC is ever going to happen in TX this is something we will have to go through, so we might as well get it out of the way, I would rather deal with it now than force future generations of Texans too. The signs will go up and fade away slowly as people see that OC does not cause panic and wild west shoot outs. Now will this happen in 2011, I doubt it, but my reps will hear about it from me anyway.
