So, recently I heard that several places of business have stated they do not want firearms carried openly in their stores. They include, 1.) Target 2.) Whataburger 3.) Chili's 4.) Chipotle 5.) Panera Bread 6.) Sonic 7.) Starbucks. I've also heard that, under the new laws provisions, they can merely ask that firearms not be open carried in their places of business and that is enough. They don't need either a 30.06 or a 30.07 sign. Is that true? That would suck if it is true. Out of all those listed above, I've never been and don't plan on going to the Panera Bread place. I go to the others all the time.

I guess what I'd really like is if a lawyer read the actual law and translated it from Lawyerese to plain English that would be great. Anyone do that yet?

Awesome...exactly what I wanted to know. Thank you very much.

These questions may have already been asked and answered but, I couldn't find it right off the bat so, I decided to ask the experts.

First, as far as I know, if you get pulled over, you're required to hand your CHL over as well. Am I correct about that?

Second, If you're walking along and an officer asks to see your ID then are you required to waive your Constitutional rights to not give it unless you are a suspect about to be arrested because of the above requirement?

Third, with the advent of the new Open Carry law, I've heard that part of it is that officers ware banned from even asking if you have a CHL. Does that nullify the above requirement?

This is all pretty confusing to me.
