WTF? Texas homeowner kills 2 who asked about roosters

[unblock]

101. not my family, no

my family in texas is very anti-gun, but their neighborhood is certainly very much into guns.

i do have another brother-in-law in georgia who has several guns but he's the only gun owner in the family and that's another story.

i love texas and austin is still high on the list of retirement options. i went to ut, met my wife there, had a great job there, still have friends there, love the warmth, the food, the music, lots of great memories. we've pretty much made the drive down there an annual vacation (yes, all the way from connecticut!) many great things about it. and again, yes, few guns in the city, really only police and the occasional concealed carrier (one of my employees was a constable on nights and weekends and sometimes we'd go out for lunch and he would point out a few, i would never have known).

but just about any time i was away from a town big enough to merit a dot on the map, i saw guns. i would not call texas "backwoods" at all, and i agree, the south in general and texas in particular gets unfairly bashed.

but as for guns -- whatever your opinion is about gun ownership or regulation, you can't deny that guns are hugely popular there.


as for taking to task people who are armed and drinking -- what?? i'd need more than just the 7 years of texas in me before i had gonads big enough for that!!
