Open Carry Texas has asked its members to "immediately cease taking long guns into corporate businesses." Oops, looks like SOMEBODY finally figured out they are doing more harm than good.

Here is a portion of the statement sent to Open Carry members:  

Whereas, our mission is to get open carry of handguns passed in Texas, we must once again adjust in a way that shines a positive light on our efforts, our members, and our respective organizations. We have decided the prudent path, to further our goals, is to immediately cease taking long guns into corporate businesses unless invited. Black Powder revolvers have proven to be very effective and align with our goal of legalizing open carry with a handgun. We do understand that not everyone will be able to afford one, but if you can, we are requesting you do so. Almost every leader has gone to Black powder for a reason. It works. 

For all further open carry walks with long guns, we are adopting the following unified protocol and general policy to best ensure meeting our respective legislative mission to legalize open carry: 

1) Always notify local law enforcement prior to the walk, especially the day of 
2) Carry Flags and signs during your walk to increase awareness 
3) Carry the long gun on a sling, not held 
4) Do not go into corporate businesses without prior permission, preferably not at all 
5) If asked to leave, do so quietly and do not make it a problem 
6) Do not post pics publicly if you do get permission and are able to OC in a cooperate business 
7) Do not go into businesses with TABC signs posted with a long gun (Ever) 
8) If at all possible, keep to local small businesses that are 2A friendly.

I mentioned earlier that these idiots were actually helping the gun control advocates, and damaging their cause, with their "Rambo goes to lunch" antics.

Now it looks as if they are finally starting to figure that out as well.

All little slow on the uptake, but they're getting there.
