A few years ago I was leaving the shooting range here in north harris county texas. Didn’t see I was in the go straight lane and made an illegal left turn. I was promptly pulled over by a Harris county deputy. As he approached my truck I informed him I was armed with my M1A .308, my 1911 45 auto, the pistol grip 12 gauge mossberg, the dan wesson 357 revolver and the marlin lever action 22 mag rifle all loaded and sitting in my front seat. He looked inside my truck and said “yes you are, please be more observant of the turn lanes and please be more careful, have a good day”. I thought that was nice of him.
Sounds like the police where when I was growing up. Unless you were killing or robbing with them, guns were no big deal. Almost everyone had one in their home.
