Whataburger Asks Customers Not to Open Carry

[Trill Clinton]

pls let me have a gun
cuz I feel like a loser and a coward when i don't have it
but when I do carry it, I feel like I'm a tough guy, espcially when I carry a fun AND walk my pitbull

You don't need a gun at a Whataburger. Now, Waffle House or IHOP after 2:00 am? Different story.

Well there's an IHOP and Whataburger next to each other in north Austin. It's pick your poison at that time.

unintended consequences?

As January 1 approached, the day Texas’s new open carry law took effect, it seemed gun rights advocates were poised to savor a big victory. The legislation, coupled with a measure allowing guns on college campuses, was the result of a hard fought and widely publicized battle in the state capitol that culminated with Texas becoming the 15th state to allow the open carry of handguns with proper licensing.



But within just 11 days, the at udes on display on a popular message board suggest that some Lone Star State open carriers worry that the push to expand their rights may have done more harm than good.


In a post on TexasCHLForum.com, a popular gun rights website moderated by National Rifle Association board member Charles L. Cotton, one user reported that the new law has triggered private business owners to not only exercise their right to bar open carry on their premises, but prohibit concealed handguns as well. Any private business in Texas that wishes to bar firearms must display a strictly regulated sign — dubbed “30.07” for openly carried guns, and “30.06” for concealed firearms. Amid the controversy over open carry, this gun owner was noticing more of both varieties.


“Got an email from work telling us that not only are 30.07 signs going up over the weekend on our office building but 30.06 as well. What makes this even more frustrating is I have yet to see a single open carry,” wrote a user with the handle LTUME1978, before predicting in a subsequent comment that, at least in Houston, “Once the signs are up, they are not ever going to come down.”

Texian secessionist states rights Repugs LOVE regulations.

They'll be back. They can't stay away for long. No one can.

Is their burger that good? I was in SA last summer and was gonna try, but dd wanted Mexican food.

Private business should be allowed to restrict open carry or anything - just like people can choose to eat elsewhere if they don't like that policy.

Whataburger is overrated as . In N Out is way better.

[101A]

ever shot anybody?

ever un-holstered your gun for a perceived threat?

do you carry everywhere? or just when you're going to a dangerous place, like a black church?

I missed this when it was posted.

No. No. I've never actually carried anywhere; just have the permit (all it takes in PA is to go to the courthouse, sign a piece of paper & pay $20).

Not sure what I've done for you to hurl the racist implication my way. But whatever.

[pgardn]

I have yet to see anyone carrying openly other than cops, security.

Anyone notice an up tick?

[pgardn]

yup

Run back in, get shot, run out wounded as your "friends" casually walk out.
Drive away, wreck, and die.
Just another waffle morning.

There are certainly better but it's quite good and quite addicting.

I haven't seen anyone open carry anywhere yet but I don't hang out (at least not for long) in the type of places where you would expect people to.
