Re: walmart asking for chl

Postby Keith B » Thu Jan 07, 2016 9:46 pm

I believe the 'well, we have to make sure the person is legal' is a cop-out. Since open carry is legal, even though it requires a license, then no one should have reasonable suspicion that the individual is illegally openly carrying a handgun. If there is probable cause to indicate the person may not be legal, then they can ask the person to leave, OR, they can call the police and advise why they feel this person needs to be checked out. TABC needs to accept that a licensee shouldn't have to confront someone who is more than likely legally carrying openly.
^^^^^^^

I agree with this Keith and it certainly represents the 'ideal'.

We will see how it all plays out. For the present....I will comply with any requests to show my LTC from this business.

I know some folks will be shocked to hear this, but I am not without the ability to compromise.

Re: walmart asking for chl

I need to run into town tomorrow and pick up some things. Walmart is on my list of places to go.

IF they want to verify that I have a LTC, I am happy to comply. Walmart (at least where I live) is about as 2A friendly as it comes.

I appreciate their efforts to accommodate OCers and welcome the opportunity to be an ambassador for this group.

I will report back here...IF there is anything to tell. I expect it will be a non-event....just as it was the first time I went there.
