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 |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
