Texas Safe Passing efforts

Recently I bought a 12 gauge pump-action combat shotgun, after hearing that the violent MS-13 gang has been trying to break into homes in my vicinity.

Do you suppose if I ride with it slung on my back people will pass me with a safe distance? It's legal to carry long arms on one's person without a license or permit in Texas !

{{{ THIS IS A JOKE, BTW }}}

You'll have to try it, but that's extra weight, and don't expect them to take it lightly when you roll into work.

I dont see any problem with carrying it on your bike.

The problem is what to do when you arrive at your destination.

You are going to be in a world of **** bringing a shotgun into most workplaces, and it is very rare that a retail outlet allows long arms either.

so seems very impractical to me.

I seriously doubt it would impact drivers passing distance TBH.
