Open carry, that is. Texas will begin allowing open carry on January 1st, 2016; however, private businesses will be allowed to prohibit the practice. Businesses can currently prohibit concealed carry if their business has the proper signage, making concealed carry on their property a crime of Criminal Trespass. Under the new law, a business could allow concealed carry, but not open carry. Theoretically, they could allow open carry, but not concealed. Personally, if I were a business owner in Texas, I wouldn't allow open carry in my place. Thoughts?
