I have "not" opened" carried. Not saying that I never would, but I have always thought that what ever advantage I can have is good, and concealed carry works great for my mind set.
Notwithstanding, I live in Benbrook (SW Fort Worth) and work in Hudson Oaks (Parker County).
I "was" disappointed to see that the Movie Tavern on Hulen in Fort Worth and Rave Motion Pictures theater at the Ridgemar Mall had posted both 30.06 and 30.07. I used to frequent those. But there are plenty of movie theaters in the area. I will adapt.
At least to date, both areas, home and work have not posted "any" new signs.
I have seen a lot of posts about being asked for a CHL or LTC. Personally, I have no problem showing someone my license as I want to maintain that I am still a neighbor, and member of the two communities that I am active in. Sometimes what is law and what is "the right thing to do" differs in my opinion.
If I see a sign at a business that doesn't meet the requirements I will continue to carry concealed. But, if I see a genuine effort at a business to comply, I will avoid.
My point is this: We have rights, and are licensed to do things that 95% of the state's population are not. Some of the things that are covered in CHL classes were; de-escalation, and avoid confrontation. I understand the merit of those.
I am done rambling for now. As always, it is just me saying.
