The irony of this is that if you saw the hippie today, he probably wouldn't remember the encounter.

The uniformed division as not "agents". They are code 0083 officers and not "1811" criminal investigators. They are uniformed police officers. I was referring to actual agents.
Nobody is saying you shouldn't carry a firearm. In fact, I think you should carry two like I do. But I also believe you should take a tactical and measured approach to your OPSEC.
The same reason I don't flip my cards over before I bet when playing at the casino is the exact same reason I don't open carry when not in uniform. OPSEC.

Wow! Didn't expect this. I just like the idea of thugs and thieves knowing that I'm not an easy target. I got the Idea from Loomis armored truck drivers. There's risks in everything. For example, it's a miracle I didn't break my neck falling off my Swagway.

I'd have to count on the dozens how many armored trucks and coaches have been robbed over the years. Ever heard of "robbing the Wells Fargo coach"? It's an old western term and still applies today. They get robbed across the US quite frequently.

Well I guess those fools had better hide their guns before it happens again.

Doesn't the Army Corps of Engineers run Canyon Lake? And to the extent they defer to state authorities would that not be the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority? The LCRA runs Lake Travis and the other Highland Lakes, or so I believe.
