Chipotle has now banned guns, but have stopped at not putting 30.06 on the door.

I saw one open carry guys on I20 this past Sat. I wanted to stop and talk about their stance. I'm leaning towards no. Simply because I don't know if they are allowed to carry fully loaded, one in the chamber, and the safety off. What if some psycho is standing in line to order and reaches over to pull the trigger? Too many variables to consider if they want to carry so openly.

In Texas long guns are, for now, completely unrestricted. The Open Carry folks can legally carry with one in the chamber, safety on or off, and fully loaded if they wish. My training that I have received has always been that you carry a pistol ready to be used (round in the chamber, mag full, safety on if present) and a long in a condition where it can be made ready (loaded mag, empty chamber, bolt closed). As to how the person/people you saw were carrying I can not say.

Do you used to open carry at Jack's until the policy changed?

Point is if OC ever passes you can forget carrying in there. Just as long as it doesn't affect you then who a cares right?

How do you know this? Open carrying a rifle looks vastly different than open carrying a handgun. Infact I'm sure most probably wouldn't take notice as it's not as obvious.
