The outcome is they ask you to leave, and you either leave or get arrested. The point is, permitless carry for long guns already exists in Texas. A previous post said "go all the way and let you carry an AR-15". Well you already can (legally) carry long guns (and SBR's, and machineguns, and short shotguns) open or concealed and nothing has happened. Why not handguns like the other 24 states?

Machine guns? Full autos are illegal without a license. I wanna see you carry a SAW into Walmart Like you say you will be asked to leave or be arrested so at best all you might be able to do is walk down the street with it. Won't be able to enter any business so basically you can't carry it anywhere.

Your realize the same can be said about open carrying an handgun, with permit or with constitutional carry right? Right now I have a permit to carry and I can carry into Walmart concealed or openly. If carried concealed, no one sees it and no issue. If carried openly, Walmart can ask me to leave. Folks have openly carried their rifles into many stores such as Walmart, Target, Starbuck's, etc without issue in the past. Granted, the long gun draws more attention, but by law, they are treated the same. Property owners have the right to ask you to leave and if you refuse to do so, you can be arrested.
