I think there are cultural differences between Texas and New York
besides just the gun ownership thing that account for that. :) And I'm
not sure how much is a difference between friendliness per se, and how
much is the laid-back-ness of each place. Or some kind of difference in
the expanded definition of "friendly" in each place.
And there are cultural differences between Texas and California, and the
culture in Texas agreed with me a bit more when I visited both states on
one trip, and that's how I ended up going to school in Texas. (But I
will note that in *both* states I've had a random aging hippie come up
to me and start a conversation which ended shortly after my gently
refusing the offer of a joint.)
