Sounds like a great organization trying to separate itself from what many on the left now think open carry looks like!
You can put one onDifferent approach. I can respect that. It'll certainly appeal to the center / just right of center crowd as the left has already made up their mind. Do you have a website up and running? At least a blog or something? Would help drive traffic and explain your mission. I like that outsiders think Texas is all cowboy hats. Wish I saw more of them. When you say tie, do you mean a Bolo tie? I wish I wasn't so against suits (the corporate world ruined my respect for them). I trust a guy in blue jeans far more.
Good luck and I'll be interested to see where this goes.
