Was traveling through Giddings yesterday and stopped for gas and snacks. Walked in to the store to see a uniformed officer there. I positioned myself to place the gun on the opposite side of my body as I walked past him and smiled. Back in my days of international business travel my wife taught me you should always smile at custom agents as if you have nothing to hide. Makes them less nervous.
...and they taught us in the acadamy to beware if someone smiled and acted real friendly...(my work here is done)
I guess I'm a suspicious guy then because I actually like police and appreciate their job. Through the years I've had a few friends who were in the busines,s and I never felt that I was being unduly scrutinized because I said hello and visited with them about their day.
