The current Texas Monthly is a special issue – a .38 Special, if you will. It’s about guns.
Page after page, see and hear about Texans and their rods. A cover shot and photo gallery show people and their beloved rifles, carbines and sidearms. See former Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson pose with his Colt .45 like one might a trophy walleye. If one could peer down that barrel, you’d bet one could see into the man’s soul.
Artist Matthew Diffee depicts what he saw and heard at a San Antonio gun show. One quote: “We sell freedom implements and other bunker supplies.”
