You're reading it wrong, of course.

Though I have to admit that while I'm familiar with what a Taco is, and who Mao was, I have no clue what they have to do with each other, or whatever the heck a Ffroader is.

So? Do you have pink ground effects and a chartreuse-and-plaid flame job on your vehicle? I'm pretty sure the cops aren't going to do a full felony stop on every silver sedan in the area, so I'm not real worried about that.

If they describe *me* OTOH, most of the cops around here will just hand the screamer a copy of Murphy's Laws of Combat, with the bit about not drawing armed people's attention to yourself highlighted.

Here we are 12 years after the law was passed and there is a guy at my work that said he would be scared to think that people around him might have a CW. I had to tell him that there are 250k+ licenses active in Texas now and that it is very likely that people he has come in contact with carried.

Anybody got the stats for how many people the average person is within "contact distance" (supposedly close enough to start a conversation comfortably, probably about 5yds or so) of in a given day?

ISTR seeing a study posted somewhere that was based on CCTV observation, and assumes the person doesn't work in a field with direct public contact. The number was rather impressive until you stop to think about all the people in line with you, at the next couple of tables in a restaurant, etc.

If 1% of them have a CHL, the math is pretty easy.
