Brooks' Place, a Barbeque Joint in the suburban Houston, has hanged a sign that not only welcomes gun owners but also invites to take a seat and dine in. This appears to be a way of celebration adopted by Trent Brooks, owner of the 'cooked low and slow' theme inherited smokehouse. Brooks' approach followed by the decision on 'open gun carrying' imposed by Texas as the 45^th US States.

Texas has reportedly enlisted its name on the New Year's Day to allow licensed gun users for carrying a holstered pistol since 1871. Moreover, the smokehouse owner offers 10% discount to the gun holding customers as a mean to show support for the new gun law.

Obama administration has to withstand strong criticism from the opponents while introducing the bill. Allowing carrying guns with concealed license may inspire the criminals to deter law and order situations.

eover, it may be even make authorities' job more difficult. These two appear as the vital points of arguments cited by the opponents. But majority of the Texans, who intends to protect themselves, their homes and businesses, families and neighbors, are posed as the bold supporters for the 2^nd amendment, reports The Washington Post quoting Trent Brookes, a businessman, not a politician.

According to the National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action, many states either grant open-carry permits or do not require them. Five states including the District of Columbia continue to ban open carrying firearms. However, the 45 states limit their handgun carrying permissions excluding to some places like correctional facilities, polling places and alcohol sales centers, reports Walkileaks.

Several private businesses like supermarket chains H-E-B, Whole Foods, fast-food chain Whataburger, won't support open carry handguns. In other development, Walmart instructs its manager to check whether the patrons have proper gun permits. However, establishments can ban concealed guns by posting a 30.06 sign and open carry by 30.07 sign, reports MSN.

Brooks has been applauded for his courage and American spirits by some Facebook users. Some have also reported to criticize his whole idea. Even he has experienced a threatening message on social media warning to shoot up the smokehouse. Brooks has reported the threat to the Harris County Sheriff's Department.

Referring the threat to be illegitimate, the barbeque joint owner still continues to serve his possible best quality of food. He urges all to accommodate with opportunities to achieve the goal of the smokehouse through serving quality and good food. However, his approach in highlighting the arms law amendment appears to be a business promotional stunt, for sure.

Texas has legalized carrying handguns in public as the 45^th US State from January 1. Despite criticisms fearing deterioration in law and order situations from different quarters, the new arms amendment law has been welcomed by the commoners. One step ahead, Brooks' Place owner has offered a promo for his popular barbeque giant that upholds the new law.
