Never let 'em see you sweat.
Whataburger in Ennis is NOT posted. In fact, so far I have not seen a single 30.07 sign, but I've stayed away from places like AMC and Whole Foods.

Maybe he was just being considerate because his deodorant had failed. :uhoh:

I'm not sure what activities he gets up to between his sponge baths.

Only place I've seen so far personally is H.E.B. I have seen a couple of reports of Valero gas stations being posted but haven't been able to confirm this, nor am I sure they are just individual franchisees or something. It's still early days yet. I don't really get out too much as I'm usually either working or sleeping.
I'm really hoping OC in TX continues to be a non-event. It will make it easier to push the case for unlicensed carry in 2017.

Just a quick stop at the WalMart in Boerne again last night. No reactions whatsoever (that I noticed). I'm beginning to think I need something bigger with some purdy handles, or perhaps some flashing LED lights around my rig for anyone to even notice...but I digress

Just got back from paying the electric bill at our rural electric coop office. 30.06 and 30.07 signs were both posted on the big glass front windows. This is basically a government operation, but since it is theoretically a "member -owned" company, I think that I will express my disapproval at the next stockholder's meeting.

Just stopped by my buddy's gun shop. Buddy wasn't there so no discount for me today. It didn't stop me from walking out with two firearms though. Don't tell my wife but I got me a nice 1911 Commander and a Taurus 9mm. They were still out of the M&P Shields.

Indeed. Please keep us posted...oops, sorry, no pun intended...really.

Stopped at Valero by my office for gas and went in to get a hot dog (or two). Wasn't posted so I'm assuming the other reports elsewhere online were referring to individual franchisees. No issues other than the weather is not really cooperating today.

Today was the last day of the Cabela's after Christmas sale so I decided to go have a look at the one in Buda. Walked around the store for about an hour without a mention of my sidearm and left with some good hunting gear for next season.

Went to eat at Thundercloud Subs at lunch rush and nothing to report except maybe a few double takes.

I keep meaning to go check out that Cabela's. Good to hear you didn't have any issues!

"Assault weapon" is in the dictionary, too. Doesn't make it right. Just makes it a common term.

Same with misspellings like "cancelled" with two L's. Enough people do it wrongly and they just give up and rewrite the dictionary. Welcome to language.

Generally, I agree, except that cancelled is the correct spelling in Commonwealth nations, and predates the American spelling.

Engrave that in aluminium, and I'll agree with you.

This dialogue is a grey/gray area. Of course I could be labouring under a flag of another colour.

Would this be a 'false flag' operation then?

Taco Cabana today. Early on, they posted 30.06, then later removed them. I understand the sentiment behind this, but am not sure I like the notion that one should be shamed into doing what they want rather than being obliged to conceal or leave. A store manager or employee could really cause trouble for the chain by raising a ruckus.

Once you have it engraved in aluminium, don't forget to colour the letters in. In your defence though, hopefully everyone will realise what I just did there!

I wouldn't eat at Taca Cabana if you paid me.

So the youngest wanted burger king last night. We went up to the new BK in Bandera last night and it was packed. Tons of high school aged kids in there as well. Nobody battered an eye lid, nobody lost control of their bowels. Pretty good visit!

Uh...unless their phone batteries die they would not notice a train wreck right next to them. Were any actually eating? A national fast food burger joint had to put their foot down on high schoolers buying a small fountain soda, refills of water, so as to stay hours upon hours to suck up the free WiFi.

Nope, no train wreck, no notice...unless your gat showed up on one of their social media feeds as a result of someone who did notice and snapped a photo...

Very good point! I did notice some hooked on cell phones but many others seemed to be just standing around chatting. Never thought about the fact I'm probably on several FB feeds by now. :lol:
