Yes, Texas is actually a heavily-regulated State. Has been basically since it all got started at the close of the Civil War. We need to pass Constitutional carry as soon as possible and without regard to open or concealed. As for HEB, Tom Thumb, and Randalls, I never shop at these places anyways. We don't have Tom Thumbs here in the Gulf Coast area that I have seen but we do have HEB and Randall's. I refuse to shop at theses 2 places unless it is absolutely necessary. Randall's has always had high prices and hasn't always closed their stores for holidays. HEB supports illegal immigration and supported the DREAM Act, neither of which I feel is in the best interests of Texas, and the rest of the nation IMHO. For several years now, I've been paying real close attention to which big business supports who. I don't want to support liberals in any manner whatsoever, and if you have the 30.06 sign posted on the premises I will only enter there if I need to hit the throne real, real bad.
