Why is it called a barbeque rig? From the threads, it seems there is an actual BBQ happening, but why is the 1911 related, unless its a special bring your 1911 to work BBQ?

Is it a Texas tradition to bring a gun to a BBQ? Wouldn't surprise me... but I am just wondering....

Why is it called a barbeque rig?
Texas lawmen are often obligated to attend celebratory functions, usually involving
BBQ. These are opportunities to dress to impress and, well your normal duty gun is usually utilitarian in appearance. Many have a nicely to gaudily engraved or otherwise enhanced weapon to wear for the occasion. Just about everybody there is a peace officer and open carry is standard.

Interesting. So it is a kind of Texas tradition, at official BBQs. I was thinking like a block party, or a friday night dinner with friends. But, now that I think of it, I was sort of aware of the Texas tradition of Official BBQs.

Now, Texas law actuall prohibits open carry:

"GC Ch. 411 Subch H, PC 46.15 Concealed carry of a handgun requires a "shall-issue" permit, and is subject to specific laws governing trespass while armed. Open carry of a handgun is prohibited with some exceptions (hunting, on one's own property). Open carry of a long gun is not specifically prohibited as PC 46.02 (unlawful carry of weapons) only mentions handguns, however it may be construed as "Disorderly Conduct"."

So, do people who arent lawmen open carry at these events, or is it just the "badge" of a peace officer?

I guess it depends on the bbq, but I would not think the practice would be relegated to LEO only if it were on private land ----- naturally if it were a gala at the Governor's mansion that might be different, ------but as said, a shindig on private land should be come one come all, with your bbq rigs proudly displayed whether you are LEO or otherwise

They do beautiful work in the prison craftshops. Reasonably priced, too.

Yes, that does happen. You will also see this at some of the CAS shoot banquets. Although mostly unloaded.
