In Israel, people carry loaded rifles on public buses and no one bats an eye. Yes, loaded. Uzis and M-16s. So what is the big deal if a patron goes with a holstered gun into a Taco Bell restaurant?

This is why Texas needs to leave the union - we still have a tradition of open carry of long arms and we’d like to keep it, thank you very much...

I would be more worried about what the food will do to me in 12 hours then what the guy with the gun could do.

I think the big deal is that the customer might have to shoot his burrrrrito before trying to eat it.

If they had a guy like that in Luby's in Kileen in 1994, all those people might be alive today. Someone could have shot the psychopath who sought a mass slaughter dead before he could do it. Unarmed sheeple are dangerous to us all.

"Concerned about an accidental discharge?"That would depend on the sanitation practices of the restaurant.

He has the right to open carry, and restaurant managers have their property right to check weapons (keep them, until the customer leaves) or to make him to leave the weapon elsewhere.
...same with you all keeping strangers’ weapons off of your home places, if you wish. Imagine some strange goon wearing a pistol and knocking on your door, while you’re at work.
And I reiterate that have Second Amendment rights to open carry on public properties, friends’ properties (if they wish) and our own private properties. ...that from the experience of checking pistols in night clubs for owners of those night clubs (when I was young and dumb enough to work in that kind of place).

I've been told that's true, except when you're in your car on Texas highways. ...was recently told by a Texan that on the highways in Texas, firearms have to be zipped up in firearms cases and unloaded.

BTW, I checked “absolutely,” even though Fox News presented the straw man in the story. :-)

Strangely enough, the four rules of gun safety apply here.

"An officer would have to be a moron to go up and talk to someone without saying put your hands away from the weapon,"....An officer IS a moron if he thinks someone who is about to shoot him is going to put his hands on top of his head, instead.

"Strangely enough, the four rules of gun safety apply here."I'm not sure you got the joke about "accidental discharge". Late in the night after eating in a crappy restaurant. You hope you make it to the toilet in time.

But, but, but... GUNS KILL PEOPLE! I mean, he could have been enjoying his tacos but who KNOWS what carnage his pistol may have wreaked unattended!

To: familyop
In NJ, the only way you can openly carry is if you posess a CCW, which we know citizens can rarely ever obtain. That is very ambiguous to say the least. That being said, if a LEO sees you openly carrying in NJ, be prepared to get a mouthful of asphalt, firearm confiscated, and a slew of charges filed against you. There is no provision for the 2nd amendment in the State Constitution, nor does there exist and amendment guaranteeing the RIGHT to hunt, fish, and bear arms. Not that anyone’s surprised.....
