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 |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
