[quote user="henry6"] And so what would we expect from a state that boasts the allowance that everyone can carry a concealed gun and the law enforcement is done either by comedic Jackie Gleasonesque characters or somber vigilantes or stoic Rangers?  Sorry, but that is the picture a lot of us non-Texans get from the stories and boasts eminating from the Lone Stars.  [/quote] The public image of Texas is mostly wrong.  It is the third most urbanized state in the union.  Although none of my friends have a license to carry a concealed weapon, obtaining a license to do so is not terribly difficult. Come to think about it, I don't have that many friends.  Many of them are dead!  Although none of them were shot, a few of them had a few too many shots, if you know what I mean. With the exception of Connecticut, every state in the union permits the carrying of concealed weapons under certain conditions.  Texas along with three other states will issue a permit on request providing the requestor does not have a criminal record, has not just been released from the looney bin, and agrees to take a training course on the safe use of firearms.  Pulling a weapon on a person in Texas will get the licensee a trip to the slammer in quick order.  Believe me, spending time in our lock-ups is not a pleasant experience. Not to worry Henry.  If you plan to be in the Lone Star state in the near future, I will have a posse meet you at the airport.  We'll be happy to protect you from the bad guys.  You do know how to ride a horse I presume!  Our highways are not what they should be!  Oh, and don't forget to bring a tent with you.  We're a bit short on accommodations these days.
