One evening, while still a deputy in Oklahoma, I was attending a school function for several children of families I knew thru work/military.

A grandmother noticed that I was wearing my sidearm in addition to my badge and asked if I expected trouble. I told her no Mrs. so and so, if trouble was expected I would have brought a long gun.

One must remember, here in DFW we have even had shootings in church. Inevitably it is the one part of murphy's law you forgot that jumps up and bites your back side.
