Target asks customers to leave firearms at home

Whistler made the point that many of us in Colorado don't really get. In Texas, the only firearms permitted to be openly carried are long guns. Legally, a citizen may carry an AK or a Mosin but may not legally open carry a handgun. I understand the point of the open carry demonstrations in Texas were to point out the absurdity of the current open carry laws in Texas.

That's how I understand what they goal was as well. As I've said elsewhere, If you want to hold a political demonstration choose a street, a park or better yet the steps of the capitol. Unless the business is specifically involved with that issue don't drag em into it.
Note in the picture the guy with the flag also has a handgun.
