Motherhood, Texas Style

by Lee

So I took my mom out for lunch to this new Thai place around the corner.  The food was pretty good.  While we were sitting there eating I looked over at a table across the restaurant.  There was what appeared to be a young mother, early to mid 20s, with a newborn baby in a high chair.  With her were an older child, maybe three or so, and an older couple, most likely her parents.  The woman was quite doting over her kids, playing peekaboo and the like.  It was quite a heartwarming scene.

It was when the young woman stood up to get something out of a bag that was on the floor that I noticed the Glock 9mm that was strapped to her waist.  I appraised her once again, and it didn’t look like she was a police officer, due to the casual style of her clothing and the fact that she didn’t have a visible badge.  She looked too young to be a detective, at any rate.

Nope, she was just a young woman with two kids who, thanks to Texas’ respect for the 2nd Amendment, has the ability to defend herself and her family should the situation arise.  I’d love to see some scumbag try and carjack this young lady.
