I am in San Antonio and got a summons for Bexar County jury duty yesterday, and the whole ordeal was quite a pleasant experience actually.
In the summons, there was two VIA bus vouchers, which I decided to use and not have to worry about driving downtown and finding a parking space! I have had my CHL and been carrying for about 2 years, however, as required, I left my gun at home. Not so much in the morning, but in the later afternoon when the crowd seemed more ‘sketchy’, I realized how much of a 'security blanket' that actually carrying my weapon provides to me. Have I become dependent, my wife thanks so?
Overall, I felt good for doing my civic duty, but I still missed that comfort that a CHL provides!
For anyone else who has jury duty in our county, I would definitely recommend taking the bus, and if you do, make sure that you get on an “Express” bus. I didn’t and it took me about an hour and twenty minutes to get to my car because there was about 30 stops between downtown and the park and ride!
