In Texas it is common to see people with firearms on their hip or a knife in someone’s pocket. It’s not about causing violence, it’s something that has been done for decades and continues today. Most people carrying a weapon with this have very little intention of ever using that one another person, but it is available if a dangerous situation were to arise.
