An iconic Texas burger chain has found itself in the crosshairs of gun politics in the months leading up to a state law change set to take effect allowing open carry of handguns.
Preston Atkinson, President and CEO of Whataburger, released a statement this week, saying that, “Whataburger supports customers’ Second Amendment rights, but we haven’t allowed the open carry of firearms in our restaurants for a long time, although we have not prohibited licensed concealed carry.” |

The obvious answer to this position is to take one's business elsewhere. There are plenty of burger places in Texas, fast food and otherwise, that one does not have to patronize Whataburger.
I live in Texas, but since I know of their anti-gun mentality, I will no longer patronize them. |
