I am constantly amazed at the open attitude here in Bandera (or even, as I have found, mostly in SA). The lady outside of the OST cracked me up. She was so open and friendly and even jokingly mentioned about "me being armed" when I went into the restaurant and then poked fun at me when I came out. No wide eyed fear....no shrieking in terror and even the Girl Scouts weren't cowering in fear behind their mother's skirts. Just another 'ho-hum non-event'. LOVE IT.
As we talked about, concealed carry is an option as well as open carry. It's nice to be able to walk around with a tshirt rather than being FORCED to wear a cover shirt.
Regards and thanks for the "stogie". Next one's on me.

Yes sir! Another great hook up! Looking forward to the next one!
First time OC yesterday, went to Denver matress and lowes 2 times... today I made 2 more trips to lowes, payless shoes (ughh, wife made me...) and picked up a To go order at pizza hut.
All of it was uneventful minus Denver matress, where one of the sales guys was staring at my gun while talking to my friend for about 3 minutes.
But it went surprisingly well, not that I was expecting any issues though.
Welcome to the forums and congrats on your first OC. Isn't it great not having to cover up!?
I noticed you're in Killeen. We were talking earlier about maybe setting up a Texas OC meet-n-greet in that area for spring since it's equidistant from S.A./Austin, Dallas and Houston, but weren't familiar with any of the places in the town as potential hosts. Perhaps you have some pointers on that?
