LUBBOCK, Texas — The Lone Star state has seen large population growth in the past year – increasing by 470,708 in 2022, according to Census.gov . When non-residents think of Texas, it usually brings to mind horses, guns, cowboys and belt buckles.  A YouTube video , titled 'Moving to Texas,' by Dana Pollard said one misconception is that 'we all carry guns and aren't afraid to use them.' Pollard said in the video, 'Texas is scary to some people.' An iconic movie from the 2000s, 'Miss Congeniality,' quoted a relatable theory on Texas and its guns.
