There is the MYOB crowd and the "nobody notices anyway" group and the people who are trying to be helpful people.

I think I fall into the "trying to be helpful" group.

It seems that some people's attitude may be different just because the observation involves a concealed or not-so-concealed handgun.

One on the things I like about Texas is that the people are more friendly that in many parts of the country.

I wouldn't make a special effort to approach a person I saw at a distance or who I didn't have any reason to contact.

Some people in Texas will start up a conversation while standing in line at a bank or in the store.

In such a situation such as standing in line or engaging a person in a similar situation I would react differently that approaching a stranger.

My reaction would be the same as if the person had his fly unzipped, a long string of toilet paper trailing from his shoe, or a booger hanging from his nose.

Personally, I would appreciate being told.

Maybe I am way out of line, but I have made compliments about the appearance of another man's wife.

Plus, it is clear from the graphic outline that he is carrying a fill sized pistol, OWB...there is nothing to be left to the imagination. I can clearly see the outline of a pistol and a kydex holster. Plus he fidgets with it all the time. Clearly doesn't have a good gun belt because the whole setup droops considerably. Would you say something to him and "help him out", or just keep your distance...There are cops in the Starbucks from time to time, and I am waiting for a day when one gets in line behind him...
