So, sometimes looking "scary" is a prevantative measure to being robbed ... or even confronted by a bad guy in the first place.
Similar philosophy as: When you see a bear or lion, make yourself look bigger ... so hopefully it is a little less likely to attack you and those around you.
Saves effort trying to de-escalate a situation after a confrontation already occurred, if it can be avoided to begin with.

Scary-lookin' for your and my safety

randomoutburst, post up when the plastic arrives and let us know if you and the hubby throw a celebration party (Be sure if he takes you to a celebration dinner, that you leave an adequate tip [kidding])
I think laketex meant their shooting skills and/or firearm safety practices weren't the best.
I will definitely let ya'll know when I get my plastic and how I end up carrying at work once I'm able to.
We didn't have a celebration for his CHL; I simply saved up and presented him with $200 for a shoulder rig he had been eyeing. I'm expecting something similar. ;)
Yes. This. One guy didn't know how his firearm operated, and another barely passed his shooting test. Still another managed to sweep the entire class not once, but twice with his gun before he was asked to leave
. I think there were 5 renewals, and 3 of them scared the snot out of me with their lack of knowledge, skill, and/or safety.Btw, I'm in Sherman too and I don't think you'll have any issue with Blankenship's class at Red River. When I first saw your initial photo and noted location, I said...hmmm looks like Johnny Carinos. But then you said it wasn't you. Now I've got to play the game when we go out to eat of trying to spot the 1911 on the waitresses hip....and not getting punched by the wife. Sounds challenging. Always did love a challenge!!!
