Yes there is a way to behave in polite society. I am not one of those "In Your Face F-You" kind of people. I do believe, however, that government has no place "permitting" me and charging money, or telling me I must ask permission, before I exercise a Natural and Constitutionally secured Right. I think Constitutional Carry will pass in a year of two. Texas will be brought kicking and screaming into the fold. I now live in Montana. Last year the pro-gun governor vetoed Constitutional Carry, citing testimony from some Sheriff's and Chief's of police about officer safety. The Police should NEVER have the last word one it comes to the exercise of Natural Rights. As Robert Duval said in Open Range, "Ooooh... sticks in my craw."
