\"Business-People-Walking\"<\/p>\n

The State of TX has recently authorized \u201copen<\/em>\u201d (exposed<\/em>) carry of guns within the state.<\/p>\n

Lots of details yet to be worked-out, but the legislation has gone through. AZ and some other states have technically permitted the practice for some time. And, even in states where there is no specific legislation, the practice is commonly noted in some areas.<\/p>\n

My advice to students is not to carry openly. When open carry becomes common, even expected, I may join in. Until then, I\u2019ll leave the practice to those far more in need of fame and recognition than me!<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To me, it is similar to wearing a T-shirt proclaiming your particular political party. Why do you think everyone who sees you needs to know that? How does that benefit you?<\/p>\n

My personal philosophy of appearing in public revolves around always projecting a low profile.<\/h3>\n

I don\u2019t think it is in my best interests for me to inadvertently, nor intentionally, broadcast important information about myself, information that is no one else\u2019s business!<\/p>\n

So, I discretely carry concealed. I am always heavily armed, to be sure, but you can\u2019t tell by looking, nor do I talk about guns, politics, travel plans, et al with people I don\u2019t know. Precious few people have a legitimate need to know any of that!<\/p>\n

I do my best to be courteous, polite, and pleasant with everyone, but never chatty with people I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t want to appear \u201cinteresting<\/em>\u201d nor \u201cbeauteous<\/em>\u201d while in public. I just quietly go my way and conduct my business without fanfare. I believe that philosophy adequately represents my best interests.<\/p>\n

\n

Be a \u201cstand-out\u201d when you are so inclined. Just be prepared to garner far more \u201cattention\u201d than you ever wanted!<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
