Re: OT: I just caught some punk
I can't believe how scary some state's gun laws are...
I don't think Portland and I would mix very well...
Yes I have used a gun to defend my apt, as well as my parents house when I still lived there 4 years ago. The amazing thing about Texas is that the thieves KNOW you can legally shoot and kill them without legal repercussion if they're on your property (mortgaged or not). I have had the satisfaction of watching the thief who was trying to steal my truck with a crowbar get cuffed and carted away from my house. Because my truck was parked behind my house and with nowhere to run... he accepted the fact that he was going to sit on his hands in the middle of my drive way until the cops showed up... the thieves also know that the "he shot me in the back" excuse doesn't work as long as the body falls on your property in a Texas court.
I've never pulled the trigger but I do know when it comes to my family and property and the possiblity of harm to either...
I know many people think us Texans are crazy... but i beg to differ. Threat of force is an important concept that most of ya'll should understand just from playing this game. Taking guns away from law abiding citizens has to be one of the worst possible moves for the integrity individual freedom this country claims to love so dearly.
Numerous times all its taken when a prowler is around is a simple "clack clack" of my good ol remington 12 chambering a cartridge that sends the prowler hauling butt to get off your property.
I don't cary a concealed weapon. I don't keep one in my truck. But there is one in my safe and there is one in the closet with a trigger lock...
