Open Carry BBQ in Elgin, Tx

[rodbender]

Just post whether you plan make it or not. I don't have an exact date, but it will be on a Saturday. Maybe 3-4 weeks. How about Saturday before Thanksgiving? I need a head count.

Hey, it's only 2 1/2 hours. We got plenty of room for the babies.

Can you tell us more about the event? I'm in Pflugerville and might be able to attend.

 

[MR Redneck]

I'LL GO!!!
I'll drive miles and miles across Texas for some BBQ!!

 

[rodbender]

It's just open carry with plenty of BBQ to eat, lies to tell and general BS. You'll be on my property and no body should be messing with us. Bring other guns if you want and there will be an area set aside for you to handle them (show them off). We had about 14 people and about 30 guns when Debra Medina was here. She was sporting a wheel gun.

Weekend before thanksgiving is a race weekend. I'll be south of Houston converting copious amounts of high octane gasoline into lots of noise and greenhouse gases.

Have any recordings I can download? I like that stuff. I play trumpet. Badly.

I wish I could come to both. Can't come to either though. Gotta work.

Is the Saturday after Thanksging weekend better? Im game for a move.

 

[TexasR.N.]

I am interested. It would be me, my wife, and my two boys. I hope that's no problem, but I don't do much without them. I have to work every other weekend so I'll see how that falls on my schedule.

You realize your guests will be committing a Class A Misdemeanor?

If its his property or a property he's in controll of, please explain how anyone is committing a crime?
Private property is still private the last time I checked. I dont really think anyone's planning a BBQ at a park. That would be the only way I think the misdemeaner would be valid.

I would like to go. I'll call it likely right now (75% chance). Should be a good time.

Believe it or not, Texas law does not give property owners the right to allow guests on their property to carry handguns (just like you cannot give guests the right to drive drunk on your property). You can check PC46.02 and see for yourself. So unless they are a Peace Officer, etc., or some other 46.15 activity is occurring (of which a BBQ is NOT), it is a Class A.

I make fun of this silly situation just before Thanksgiving in my annual "Do Not Let The Guests Carve The Turkey" reminder. :-)
