They recently overhauled their laws and as they are written, there is NO sign that prohibits concealed carry within a business. Signs (which can be anything implying no guns) only apply to open carry. The only way a business can restrict your ability to concealed carry is to verbally tell you you're not allowed to carry and ask you to leave.

Why can't Texas do it like this?

Can you cite an example of this?

Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, most of the suburbs of each. I don't have an exact number, but I'd guess that cities with a smoking prohibition in bars, restaurants, and other businesses open to the public outnumber those without.

Oh yeah, that's been the case here in Austin for many years. People seriously aren't aware of that?

If you own a retail store, you pretty much can't put your customers purchases in plastic bags either.

And pretty soon, if it's not the case already, you won't be able to designate your restrooms as "Men" and "Women".

We're a long way down that slippery slope of not telling private commercial property owners what they can do on their property. I'm getting pretty tired of hearing that argument.
