Northeasterner? Just curious because that's what they called liquor stores in NJ and Pennsylvania when I was stationed up there.

Yea some things you just can't shake even after 35 years.

Busted!

Funny. When I read that I was thinking "big box store" and was wondering what he was talking about.

This is the "blue sign" that I am referring to. I am sure that you have seen it. It warns that an unlicensed person [ie. non-CHL] can not carry a weapon onto the premises. This sign is posted at almost every supermarket, grocery store, convenience store, and every liquor store in the state of Texas.



The clerk does not own or have control of the private property so he can not authorize any person to open carry or "unconceal" their handgun.

Christopher George Page was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon on licensed premises. Justice of the Peace Garland Potvin arraigned Page on Thursday, setting his bail at $20,000.

He was arrested for carrying past the blue sign without a CHL. If he had a CHL he could have been charged with intentionally exposing his handgun.
