Re: Open Carry poll by your county population

I would also like to see the laws changed to put the burden on 30.06 put on the store/office owner, you don't want a weapon in your store you provide a safe and secure place to store the weapon while I'm there. I remember a club in Alabama that had a "Check your gun here" sign at the coat and hat check by the door. And it was common to see someone pull out a handgun and check it.
I'm not checking my gun with a stranger. I'll go somewhere else.

Forcing them to allow entry, then hope they can catch the person and ask them to leave it will never pass, absolutely never!

So when discussing open-carry, understand that in terms of signage, TPC §30.06 must remain applicable only to concealed-carry, or it's a deal-breaker.

Chas.
That is how I would like OC. Leave 30.06 alone.

However, I really don't understand why it couldn't work the way you say it would never be allowed. Isn't this is the way Oklahoma has it and a few other states. Now, maybe, after a couple years of our closest neighbor, OK, having OC like this without changing it or having too many issues don't you think our legislature might at least consider it? Or is Texas really that much more property/business owner friendly than some of these other states?
