I just returned from San Antonio Texas last Sunday night after attending my son's graduation from BMT at Lackland AFB. (I'm about as proud as a dad can be of him).
A couple observations from a Indiana boy about Texas.
1. Good Lord it's hot down there!
2. They love the men and women in uniform down there.
3. Every where we went had signs prohibiting the carrying of weapons. I'm
not talking about the AirBase, I mean just about every establishment in
San Antonio we went in had a big angry sign in the window warning you
that it is against the law to carry a weapon in this establishment. I don't
think there was one on the door of the Alamo. Wife even commented about
this..."I thought they loved their guns down in Texas". How do you Texans
with carry permits deal with this? I'm not bashing your fair city, I'm just
saying it has got to be frustrating to y'all. We have carry permits in Indiana
and I'm hard pressed to think of seeing any signs like this up here.
4. I really thought I'd see more cactus and tumbleweeds than I did.
