The grocery stores banning open carry inside their stores are HEB, Randalls and Whole Foods because they sell alcohol. Houston's Galleria is owned by Simon which bans all guns open or concealed carry. Whataburger claims open carry makes customers uncomfortable. Austin-based Torchy's Tacos claims in response to overwhelming customer response and concern, they are banning open carry in order to keep customers safe.

And surprisingly many pro-gun folks seek to divide gun owners with the open/constitutional carry vs. concealed only drivel.

Not a sound path to venture in the name of liberty. Plays directly into the hands of the anti-gun crowd.

Gosh. I hope some lone wolf self-radicalized ideologue bent on fomenting irrational fear by going around harming innocent folk doesn’t find out about this.

notifying them that, based on existing laws and company policy, no firearms (handguns, rifles or shotguns) are permitted inside Chevron office buildings

As I understand the law, the email is meaningless.

Actual signs have to be posted at all entrances.

Can they actually opt out of the law? Can anyone just opt out of any law they don’t agree with? I don’t get it.

Alcohol is insufficient reason to ban guns. 51% of sales have to come from alcohol to make that claim.

And they must post a 51% sign or the Texas penal code banning open carry and/or concealed carry (2 different codes) at the entrance.

The merchants at the Galleria such as Tiffany’s, Prada, Neiman Marcus, and Abercrombie & Fitch, will lose tons of business and will have to move to other locations in Houston.

As for Whataburger and HEB, both Texas institutions and I really don’t see how they will survive by denying service to Open Carry Texans. They will go out of business too.

Some folks just can’t get it. Think of France declaring herself a gun free zone so that Germany could march right in and take over, aka surrender. Do these people think surrendering to killers will stop the killers?

Will these companies be installing metal detectors at the front door? Afterall, that’s the only way to be sure no guns enter the building...
