It's Different in Texas

Any California restaurant has a sternly worded sign at the entrance describing the penalties if you smoke on the premises. At lunch yesterday I noticed a sign in that spot.

It warned that possession of an unlicensed weapon carried a penalty of 10 years and $10,000. Licensed ones are no problem, of course.

Well, you're in an open carry state. (and one that doesn't have the massively retarded knife and gun laws that we've got out here.) So that makes sense.

And as much as I dislike smoking in restaurants, given a choice between allowing smoking and allowing open carry, I'd have to opt for the open carry.
