TABC Strong-Arming Restaurant and Bar Owners by ‘Suggesting’ No Jackets or Patches Allowed

The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission is suggesting that if restaurant and bar owners let law-abiding citizens in with a certain jacket, patch or any specific colors on they might find enough reason to deny the establishment their liquor license.   

This is the PR dog and pony show for the propagandist media rats.   Let’s break it down:
This unnecessary government entity “TABC” issues licenses to businesses and gives them “permission” to do something that would otherwise be legal, selling alcoholic beverages. They “recommend” that you do what they say, because they can’t “legally” enforce such a law. But what they can do is send in people to “check on” your business and find any little reason to deny you your license.

That little piece of paper that you paid the state to hang on the wall allows you to generate income. That permission slip that if they looked too hard might not be renewed and you would be left bankrupt and broke and in turn closing the doors of your hard-earned business. Welcome my fellow Americans to a country full of people happily confined in chains.

The TABC also sent a similar message to all TABC licensees warning them about allowing members of the open carry movement into their businesses. This strong armed approach frightened restaurants like Applebees, Chili’s, and Chipotle to name a few. The possibility of losing their liquor license as the punishment handed down for the establishment was the fear, so the restaurants willingly complied.

Here’s the law on that issue: SUBCHAPTER C. CANCELLATION AND SUSPENSION OF PERMITS
Sec. 11.61. CANCELLATION OR SUSPENSION OF PERMIT.
…
(e) Except as provided by Subsection (f) or (i), the commission or administrator shall cancel an original or renewal permit if it is found, after notice and hearing, that the permitte knowingly allowed Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code (2012) 34 a person to possess a firearm in a building on the licensed premises. This subsection does not apply to a person:
(1) who holds a security officer commission issued under Chapter 1702, Occupations Code, if:
(A) the person is engaged in the performance of the person’s duties as a security officer;
(B) the person is wearing a distinctive uniform; and
(C) the weapon is in plain view;
(2) who is a peace officer;
(3) who is a permittee or an employee of a permittee if the person is supervising the operation of the premises; or
(4) who possesses a concealed handgun of the same category the person is licensed to carry under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, unless the person is on the premises of a business described by Section 46.035(b)(1), Penal Code

Also these hammer fisted authoritarians banned alcohol sales at Gun Shows, with proposed leniency measures such as disabled, non-working guns, and or no ammunition on site. The attack on Freedoms is coming from all directions, ‘suggesting’ and ‘proposing’ are to be redefined as you better do what we say or else! The Motto on their website states {Service, Courtesy, Integrity, Accountability} pretty laughable when you actually see the tyrannical nature of their existence.
