Re: walmart asking for chl

Here is an item in today's "The Dallas Morning News" page 5A:
"... To comply with state liquor rules, the world's biggest retailer sent a written notice last month to stores that sell alcohol, telling managers to ensure that customers who openly carry firearms under a new law have licenses. ...Wal-Mart spokesman, Brian Nick, said, "We are giving directions to our store employees to ask for a license as our management sees appropriate."
...An establishment can lose its liquor license if it "knowingly allows" a person to bring an in illegal firearm of the premises , said Chris Porter, TABC spokesman. ...
it seems to me that Wal-Mart is exercising due diligence. Given that only about 4 percent of Texas have a LTC, and that only a small percentage of those with licenses intend to carry openly, I predict this will not be a problem. However, if one approaches the door openly carrying a handgun and a chip on one's shoulder, it will be what it will be.
