An earlier version of this post included information from Sgt. Ray Bush of the Forth Worth Police Department, who wrote in an email last week that the employees at the Jack in the Box where Open Carry Texas staged a demonstration locked themselves inside a freezer for protection out of fear the rifle-carrying men would rob them. However, Brian Luscomb, vice president of corporate communications for Jack in the Box, told the New York Times this evening, Our employees told us that they did not hide in the freezer. We have amended the post to reflect this new information.
