Happy New Years Everybody . This now being 2016 we now have open carry in Texas ...yaaaahhhooooo...ok I would like to start this as the new thread of o-carrying experiences ...new year = new thread.Do I have the record? left down town ft worth shortly after turn of the year , went to waffle house and ate an entire double h-browns,two eggs ,toast ,glass of oj off the five dollar menu and hee hawed with some customers all while open carrying without incident.went to wallmart in Irving off of 183 gathered sausage, onion and when getting the banana's at 03:58 am ,little miss Walmart and the biggest male employee that was available came all the way from the midsection of the cash register isle to check my permit status, she was very nervous to where she kept dropping the few things she had in her hands, and her help just buzzed around on the other side of the fruits. I told her that she has no right to check permits of open carriers unless she was l.e.o. and then she needed an r.a.s... she said that she was told to do it and didn't really want to . I said well that may possible get you a charge of impersonating an officer, that is a felony ,also corperate wallmart policy allows what the state allows I have the number do you want it ,but if you deny me my legal right to carry you may also be in trouble with another new tx law ...I believe the first time is $1500 and the second one I think is $10,000 . i stated that i didn't see any 30.06 or 30.07 sign on the entrance she said there is one on the other side but it was behind some thing to where you can't really see it ,I said maybe there is one on the another side but not on the entrance I came in . ok then there may possible be another hit for improper signage , can I get you a cart so the you don't have to keep picking up the things that you keep dropping. now the cops are being called and I hear the guy say they couldn't send anyone unless I was being a problem because they don't really know what the law is also...little miss Walmart didn't have a name tag but kept telling me to just keep shopping anyway . a little open carry meet could help this store, so I think . like I mentioned earlier this started happened at 3:58 am any body else get accosted before me?well lets hear it

It's camouflage. Squint your eyes and something will appear. If nothing appears, squint and move your head in and out. In the course of time many obstacles will interfere with your perception, now stand on your head.....Paragraphs (as opposed to a wall of text) make posts much more readable.
Happy TX OC 2016!
I'm dizzy now and have just fallen and can't get up! :uhoh:It's camouflage. Squint your eyes and something will appear. If nothing appears, squint and move your head in and out. In the course of time many obstacles will interfere with your perception, now stand on your head.....
Walmart corporate policy is to follow state law. Whatever is legal is allowed, with one caveat. Local managers are allowed to request an open carrier to conceal if it makes the other customers uncomfortable.
In Georgia, it hasn't been an issue. Give it some time. The sheeple will get used to it and it will soon be a non-issue. Be polite, and show permit if requested at a private business.
Create a better impression of the carriers. Be nice, and soon enough the novelty will fade and you'll just be another boring customer.
Haven't been able to get on the site for two days. Thankfully it's back up
Besides walking the dog numerous times, we went to WalMart in Boerne on New Year's Day. Spent a good hour in there (and over $250) and nobody said a word, no stink eyes, no nothing. Like nobody even noticed or cared. They did have a 8.5x11 print out by the doors saying you can carry so long as you have a license and it's a handgun. I neglected to keep the receipt to send the H.E.B. two blocks up the road that we always used to shop at.
Also went to Lowes Market (grocery store) here in Bandera. Either nobody noticed or didn't care.
So far so good!
In The Woodlands, went to Valero on 1488 and then to Kroger. No problems and frankly don't think that anyone even noticed me at all. Just as it should be. Oh, and spent over $100 between the two that I didn't spend at HEB across the street from Valero.
jordanmills said:I went to HEB. It wasn't posted, nobody noticed, nobody cared. The news lies.
...just look for signs dumbass is what I was thinking but I don't really mind if people ask to make sure)...
made the trek to Bass Pro as I didn't find any at Academy or Gander the day before. As I am moseying through the store I hear one of the customers asking if they allow open carry I hear the guy behind the counter say "We do, but they want to see your CHL first" and I found myself asking myself "What the hell is this guy talking about? Bass Pro's in other states have never asked to see any ID when open carrying in the store." It might just be do to the newness of it here in Texas but I don't see that lasting if it is even the policy as nobody asked to see mine when I walked in.
