Texas: Pro-active and pro-gun laws.

[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

In principle, Tony... but if someone at work saw you were carrying, they might be doubting your intentions unless it was known you had a CHL.

I guess that's what I'm asking: Is the law, or even Texan Common-sense, saying that you should make people aware you are carrying (as a deterrent), or are you supposed to remain discreet to avoid alarming others?

Carrying firearms in your day-to-day activities around town is an alien concept in much of the rest of the (Western) world, and far from being critical, I just wonder how things work where it is an accepted practice.

When it came to concealed weapons ..I would be wondering if it were not more common the closer one got or lived to the Texacan border..

But the laws seem OK to me..knowing that the guy next to me in a crowd may be packing heat....but was he having a good day????....that may be the question????

I know I'm about 75% sane..but I don't know about him...
Yep..I would want a bigger caliber heater with a big clip and a couple of extra clips ..and maybe a bullet proof vest..or maybe a flack jacket...and a Kevlar helmet..and a squad of my buddies that I could count on ..including a LMG team and mortar team...

Where do we go from here..??
