Not directed at you in particular, but your post got me off on a thought-tangent, so forgive me --
I live out in the sticks in Tejas. I see a few rifle racks (even in this day and age!), and there are a few folks I know who carry. One's a douchebag wannabe Marine who open-carries to make up for his medical refusal at MEPS, another is a CCW who doesn't talk about it at all until he trusts you, and never shows anything. The last one is my mother's common-law husband ... a 70-year-old union liberal Bernie firebreather who'd probably prefer shooting you to talking with you (I mean, he's from Boston).
I do indeed trust the cops I know out here (Scott, Jennifer, Mark, and Rick work the beat here) more than most of these twatwaffles carrying AR-15s into this or that protest. Of course, those four deputies prefer talking to action and between them have, to my knowledge, not shot a person. And the guys carrying the rifles out on protest, they prefer talking too, by most appearances ... but ain't homely enough to admit it.
