Taylor County will continue to ban firearms from its main courthouse a year after open carry went into effect, following in the footsteps of Waller County, said County Judge Downing Bolls on Tuesday. Like Waller County, Taylor County posted signs on all courthouse entrances, citing a 2003 law that allows the prohibition of firearms "on the premises of any government court or offices utilized by the court." Taylor County posted the signs right before the open carry law went into effect Jan. 1, 2016.

"Taylor County posted the signs right before the open carry law went into effect Jan. 1, 2016."
...because a licensed carrier who carries openly is much more dangerous than the same licensed carrier when he conceals... |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
