WTF? Texas homeowner kills 2 who asked about roosters

[unblock]

83. i lived in austin for 7 years, spent a lot of time in san marcos with family,

and have hung out with many friends and co-workers either from rural areas further south, or who own property further south.

clearly you hang out with different people. for instance, my experience is that the "we're drinking fool" comment would have been met with "damn straight we are!" i commend you on your gun safety, certainly guns and alcohol are not a good combination, but mixing them is very common in my experience. people hunt and drink, people hang out armed and drink, etc. that's certainly a south texas thing but hardly exclusively such; hunting and drinking happens all over. stupid as hell, but happens all over, just like drinking and driving, because people think they can handle it.

where my brother-in-law lives in san marcos, his is literally the only house in a mile or two that doesn't have a gun. it's a unincorporated part of san marcos, middle of nowhere really. people take guns with them when they go for a stroll. i've seen it. perhaps the fact that it's nowhere near any kind of law enforcement patrol has something to do with it.

guns are not really an austin thing (people generally call that central texas anyway) and certainly there's no open carry in the city, although get outside the city limits and you can see a lot of them.
