Back in the 80's and 90's, you would get pulled over and harassed in some parts of San Antonio just because you had a gun hanging in your pickup's rifle rack.

I can't remember the last time I saw a pickup with a rifle rack anywhere, much less one with a gun in it.

Yeah. When I was in high school there were quite a few pickups in the school parking lot with gun racks AND guns. Guess I must be nuts because I'm just not feeling the "freedom" any more.

I live on the southeast side of town and I hear gunshots at night and even during broad daylight on a regular basis.

Not joking!

By that standard Chicago is gun friendly too. My son lives in University housing and if his windows are open it's not uncommon for him to hear gunshots either.

Taking pics; will check later. I'm with a bunch of people and have little control of where we go. Hence, the guns are left in the hotel room.

Maybe you're hanging out with the wrong people?

Methinks you know little about the political and demographic makeup of San Antonio then. If the SA City Council could ban all guns, they would.

They probably are not the only city that would if they could.

Yup. Austin is another, and most of downtown Houston would too. I'm grateful for state preemption laws. Would be even more grateful if those laws had teeth.

I guess I must just naturally gravitate towards places that are not unfriendly for gun owners because I travel around Austin more than any other city in the state and I've only encountered one 30.06 sign at a place I want or have to go to --and it's a place I have to go to as part of my job. I haven't encountered a single place in Austin I wanted to go to that has a 30.06 sign. And since with that one noted exception for work, since I only go to places I want to, I haven't seen but the one 30.06 sign in Austin.

And I hear SA is not gun friendly too, but while my travel there is much more limited, I never seem to end up anywhere that has a 30.06 sign when I do go. Same with Houston. It will happen some day I suppose, but my wife knows (and agrees) that we're not spending money at any business that openly proclaims it doesn't like guns, so there's no point in asking me to leave my gun in the car.
