Crazy World

Managers at Wal-Mart stores in Texas have a new task to add to their list of duties: asking customers if they have a permit to carry a handgun.

To comply with state liquor rules, the world’s biggest retailer sent a written notice last month to stores that sell alcohol, telling managers to ensure that customers who openly carry firearms under a new law have licenses.

At least the old door greeters only have to report the fact that a customer has a gun  to the manager, not confront the person on their own.

But here's a major concern I have about this open carry crap: let's say the guy carrying is a law-abiding citizen. Fine. What happens when a dope addict or any not-law-abiding citizen snatches that gun out of his holster while he's got his hands full of wonderful Walmart merchandise and turns it on him and everyone in firing range? And don't tell me that couldn't happen.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
