LOL. I have case law documenting its enforcement dating back to 1870s.

Fact is Texas was a democratic stronghold till late 80s when out of staters achieved critical mass and the last time a Democrat won statewide office in Texas was 1994

Of course you do. Probably a minority and probably in an urban area. If they found a little old lady with a snubbie in her purse back then there was no case. It was selective enforcement. If you were "upstanding" the laws weren't commonly enforced in rural areas. They dont exactly keep records on that.

I heard conversations between my grandpa and a couple different sheriffs first hand. You can think what you want. That was the way it worked in many of the rural areas in Texas.

People have been open carrying at walmarts in New Mexico for the past 25 years with no drama. This is a Texas thing. Too many Californians and New Yorkers here in Texas.

Do they sell alcohol there as well?

My uncle carried a Colt snubbie in his brief case every day. This was in San Antonio in the 50's and 60's. He was an insurance salesman and went to some rough places like Cementville (the company shacks for workers at Alamo Cement).

I believe Ann Richards (D) vetoed the Texas CHL bill in 1993, did she not?

No she vetoed a referendum on chl.

Her Sharp, Bullock are among the last Dems to hold statewide office. Vetoing that bill was the final nail in their coffin.

Well now it works better with a whole lot more laws than just carry.

I agree. The old way was completely unfair, and frankly, pretty racist.

Different state, different laws in regards to alcohol.

In short

They have the right to ask

Gun carrier has the right to deny

Store mgr can ask you to leave

Easy peasy

You are correct, but Walmart did not get to be the biggest employer and retailer in Texas by making such serious mistakes or posting 30.06/30.07 signs.
And also we need to note that Walmart is the largest seller of ammo in the country. The ammo and gun sales are more than just a minor source of income for Walmart. They have a really large reason to not "piss off" this customer base.

The customer base of pushy OC , I doubt they care about

Lets be accurate. OCers are not even a blip on the radar for them, or most anyone actually.

But there are a lot of people who don't OC but oppose the 06/07 signs....and don't mind spending money elsewhere....

 

[zincwarrior]

You have evidence of this where?

 

[Renegade]

You have evidence of this where?

I would be one of those.

 

[zincwarrior]

One is not a statistically significant number though. I am not dissing, but this is the problem, once the sign goes up, its very hard to get one to go down.

99% of the signs that went up in 1997 were gone a year or so.

 

[zincwarrior]

47% of that is correct. Of course my statement is only 17.365689% accurate as well.

Wow.....my short answer has been and will continue to be......F*#K Walmart !!!
