I worry this much: ><

I have stood in front of and talked to literally hundreds of law enforcement officers, the police chief, two sheriffs, the DA, and several judges while wearing my hardware. None of them gave me a second look.

Load up, cover up, shut up.

A lot of people on this forum make Houston sound like some kind of lawless free-fire zone.

Unless you associate with drug dealers or live in Section 8 housing, it is a perfectly normal large city. Someone plunked down there blindfolded would not know whether he was in Los Angeles, Phoenix, or Orlando.

The former DA was a jerk, but he went down in flames.

Actually, it is a perfectly normal city if you do associate with drug dealers or live in Section 8 housing. People who do that kind of thing know what to expect.

...acting like watchdogs.

They probably were, but they were watching a cat or owl.

They couldn't care less if your house was ransacked.

Unintentional failure to conceal is not a criminal offense, but the cops tend to get excited about it if someone notices and calls them.

Being arrested is no fun at all, and they tell me that getting shot is even less pleasant.

Can they call the police? Of course. People call the police because they hear squirrels in their attic.

Arrested or shot dead. See these threads:

If I knew that I had been made, I would beat feet and get as far as possible as fast as possible. If the cops showed up, my hands would be in the stratosphere.
