This likely came from the OCT antics at Chipotle (they sell alcohol). While it's not technically illegal for the person carrying the rifle, it's illegal for the liquor licensee to let them on the licensed premises. If stopping at 7-11 on the way to hunting, don't bring the rifle in.

Then there's always the Frisco gun club, where they have a bar, but they make you leave the weapons outside the bar area. So I assume you can have them in the building, just not on the licensed part of the premises.

Im with you.. and yes, If I was so concerned with my weapons in the car I needed to take them with me, id find another place to get ice..
And yes good guess, that cite from an article did come from a response referencing the OCT clowns and Chipotle (no real intention to be insulting clowns,,sorry)

I found the info tidbit interesting, more than concerning.. And highly inapplicable to me in general.. but still interesting as a "Ididntknowthat"

"The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) issued a REMINDER to all those who hold a Liquor License that businesses licensed to sell or serve alcoholic beverages are prohibited by state law from allowing rifles or shotguns in the building.

Specifically, Section 11.61(e) of the Alcoholic Beverage Code says that TABC shall, after the opportunity for a hearing, cancel a permit if the permittee knowingly allowed a person to possess a firearm in a building on the licensed premises. Some exceptions include licensed concealed handguns and peace officers."

So am I the only one that did not know this?

Personally I don't see it as effecting me as I cant see a time or place where I would likely run into the issue / decision point.
That is beside the point of ..... WHAT? and Why? How did I become a person needing legal restaurant because I stopped at the local 7 Eleven for ice and gatorade on the way to my deer lease, local outdoor range, ect?

Again, I have no idea why I would want to bring in my shotgun or rifle...Perhaps a concern the shady dude on the corner in the shadows checking car door handles and i don't want my rifle or shotgun stolen..

But what about the hotel I want to get a room in...it has a bar, it has a liquor license... So no rifle in the building?
