Texas Business Owner Open-Carry?
Just joined DC, and you guys know your stuff!
I have seen several reference that it's legal for a business owner to open-carry, or authorize employees to do so. Where's the legal reference, if you don't mind? I've checked the Texas Penal Code, and other sites, but can't find anything to "prove-up" this advice. Please assist by posting the reference (or link). I'm going to print it out, laminate it, and get ready for LE to show up (after being called by a customer, etc.). Thanks in advance! |
