So, carrying anything other than a handgun in a non-51% location is not illegal by law, BUT, it is against TABC rules for the license holder to allow an unlicensed firearm to be on premises, and the license holder can lose their permit if they don't ask the person to leave.
So, there may be some confusion by the license holder on what is and isn't allowed, especially if they had a previous incident with what could be seen as a 'handgun', even though by law it legally is not.
I am having trouble reconciling this comment of yours to your comment in the Wal-Mart thread about this being a "cop-out" on the part of Wal-Mart. It appears to me TABC needs to update their rules to better fit with the new open carry law.

Re: Is part of the 30.07 problem TABC?
TABC is not an issue with 30.07. As long as the location is not 51%, then the 'licensed' possession of a handgun is totally legal and not against TABC rules. That means anyone carrying a handgun, open or concealed, with a license is legal.
Now, the issue with the black powder, long gun, or pre-1899 firearm is that it's not a 'handgun' which is what TABC prohibits if unlicensed. So, carrying anything other than a handgun in a non-51% location is not illegal by law, BUT, it is against TABC rules for the license holder to allow an unlicensed firearm to be on premises, and the license holder can lose their permit if they don't ask the person to leave.
