Correction to my own post: it's not that "he has no means of personally protecting himself". He could, of course, pack a piece openly with the proper permits.

He could, of course, pack a piece openly with the proper permits. ..

I might be mistaken, but here in Texas, without a conceal-carry Permit, a person MUST Carry his weapon out in the open - or be in violation of the law.

If I have a conceal carry license, I must Carry, and I must Conceal. If not, my legal firearm could be strapped to my hip as far as Law Enforcement in concerned.

If islamofacists start up around here - that is exactly where I'm wearing my weapon of choice. I'd like them to see it coming.
