I am new to the CHL world and Have not been able to carry yet due to working in the Oil Field. Due to Texas State Law I will not be able to carry on unexpired oil leases. This puts me driving hundreds/ thousands of miles away from home with my weapon safe at the house. I have seen good men get fired (luckily not prosecuted) for having firearms in their vehicles while out on the rigs. So, normal day to day out here will be without CCW.
As I was home for days off, wife and I were running around town and I noticed a few places that we frequent had "NO WEAPONS ALLOWED" signage. With that being said, even though legally I would be able to carry there, we will no longer be patrons of those establishments. You don't want my legal concealed weapon inside, I don't want to be inside......
Most of the places we go are very pro CHL, I did notice that our local liquor stores invite CHL holders and NRA members with discounts..... (We do not frequent those places often).
My wife can carry at work, and possibly someday she will. Her Boss actually paid for all the girls licenses and CHL Class. He states they are to protect themselves at all cost. And as explained to them that the business is insured, PROTECT YOURSELF!
MORE BOSSES SHOULD BE LIKE THIS OUTSTANDING AMERICAN!
That is my rant. I will fill in more once I am able to actually carry......
