H.E.B. and their reason for no open carry

[mojo84]

You can call bull all you want, but I've seen it with my own eyes.

I bet you are the only one then.

Yup that's me a total liar. I just sit around waiting to make stuff up.

You are the one that came up with the term "liar", not me.

Have you considered you may have misconstrued what was the cause of the lite turnout at that particular moment? Do you have anything to support it was an INS roundup that caused it?

You know speaking this truth will get the more rabid OCers caterwauling about blah, constitution, blah, natural right, blah, take my marbles and go home, blah, blah, blah...

Have ever noticed how anti-OC you are? You're all, OCT this and OCT that blah blah blah.

I never knew what OCT was until I joined this site. You give them life on this forum, I haven't seen any of the pro OC guys on this site give near the promotion to OCT that you have.

I think that you're an OCT guy giving publicity to your cause

He didn't say anything about OCT in the post you quoted.

OK guys, quit the attacks or this topic will be locked.

[mojo84]

Keith, I didn't "attack" anyone. I challenged his statement that an INS rumor cleared out an HEB. I think the comment regarding the unsubstantiated assertion the INS rumor clearing out the HEB is much more contrary to the forum rules than anything I said.

I made a point I didn't not use the derogatory term he used.

My comment was no different than Charles challenging people when they post unsubstantiated rumors.

HEB's decision to post 30.07 doesn't impact one's ability to carry a handgun in their stores. I was there today with my concealed handgun, and I'll be there this weekend with my concealed handgun I'm sure.

HEB I'm near is the Lakeline HEB in North Austin near Cedar Park. Love the store, respect their decision to post 30.07, and appreciate that they don't post 30.06

This! x1000 ... Except that I do most of my grocery shopping at Kroger

It's his overall dismay with OC that has progressed into a discuss for OC in general.

Central Market is the only H.E.B. owned store in which I shop. As long as they allow conceal carry, I am happy.

[Charles L. Cotton]

Just made a call to H.E.B. corporate to ask about the 30.07 postings in their stores. The representative at Customer Relations first told me they were a privately held company and could make any decision they wished about open carry. I agreed with her and explained they were affecting licensed carry holders. She then switched over to they were following TABC rules in that they sold alcohol and were prohibited by law from allowing open carry. When I disputed that and told her all her stores were Blue licensed she hung up on me!!

This right here... its the exact reason I probably won't be frequenting any HEBs anytime soon. Yes they have the right to post them, but I find it a slap in the face to the most law abiding citizens of the state. And they are even flippant about why they are doing it. If every pro 2A red blooded American would stop shopping at HEB because of it, I wonder how long till they were running specials for anyone who open carried into the store.
I know, I know - it ain't going to happen, but a man can dream can't he ?

If you think it is redblooded pro 2A Americans keeping the company afloat. Go in there on a day when there is a rumor INS is in town doing roundups. There will be almost no shoppers, and like 3 employees. Happened where I grew up, and that was central Texas not South Texas.

That's probably a function of the community where the store is located. That's not the case in Friendswood.

Maybe so. Only ever shopped at the one. Was a strange sight though.

[JP171]

you are correct Charles, go to the fiesta on the south loop and yell La Migra and see how fast you get run over as almost everyone in the store leaves before they get caught

[dru]

I may continue to shop there. But when I do I will do the most ____________________ concealed carry possible. I will have the biggest possible handgun and I will just lazily drape my shirt over it. It will be completely obvious.


Or, I will go where a shirt with a gigantic "concealed handgun" printed on the front with an arrow pointing to it.

One mo' time: I wish we had a 30.07 posted HEB rather than an unposted Brookshire Bros.
