A sign posted at Freebirds World Burrito on South Lamar. As of January 1, people with the proper license are allowed to openly carry weapons in Texas. Private businesses are given the option to opt out and many Austin-area restaurants have done just that. Go to austin360.com to see a working list of restaurants that are telling customers that they are saying no to open carry. #opencarry #austinrestaurants #austindining #austin360eats
