Can I Conceal Carry in Walmart in Texas? A Guide to Texas's Open Carry Laws
If you're planning on shopping at Walmart in Texas, you may be wondering whether or not you can conceal carry a firearm. The answer is: it depends.
Texas's Open Carry Laws
Texas is one of the more gun-friendly states in the United States. In fact, Texas has had an open carry law since 2015, which allows licensed gun owners to carry handguns openly in most places.
However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. For example, you cannot open carry a firearm in a school, a courthouse, or a government building. You also cannot open carry a firearm on the property of a private business that has posted a sign prohibiting firearms.
Walmart's Policy on Firearms
Walmart has a policy that prohibits firearms on its property. This means that you cannot open carry or conceal carry a firearm in a Walmart store in Texas.
However, there is one exception to this rule. If you are a licensed peace officer, you are allowed to carry a firearm on Walmart property, even if you are not on duty.
What to Do If You Want to Carry a Firearm While Shopping in Texas
If you want to carry a firearm while shopping in Texas, there are a few things you can do:
- Shop at a different store. There are many other stores in Texas where you are allowed to carry firearms.
- Leave your firearm in your car. If you are comfortable doing so, you can leave your firearm in your car while you shop.
- Consider getting a concealed carry license. If you have a concealed carry license, you can carry your firearm concealed in most places in Texas, including Walmart.
Important Note:
It is important to note that the laws regarding firearms in Texas can be complex. If you are unsure whether or not you are allowed to carry a firearm in a particular place, it is always best to check with the local authorities.
A Few Humorous Observations
- I'm not sure why Walmart would want to prohibit firearms on its property. After all, criminals are more likely to follow the law than law-abiding citizens.
- I also find it interesting that Walmart allows licensed peace officers to carry firearms on its property. I guess they figure that if a cop wants to shoot someone in a Walmart, they'll let them.
- And finally, I have to say that I'm a little bit scared of the idea of open carry in Texas. I mean, what if someone gets mad at me in line at the grocery store and pulls out a gun?
