UPDATE: Texas EZ Trip Shooting Of Drunk

[Meiko]

208. When I was a young man

and had a lot of the scrapper in me I probably would have traded a few punches with the drunk, I was pretty feisty in my younger day's, but that was then and this is now. I am a lot older and have a multitude of health issues. I for one am not going to stand by for any amount of time and let somebody beat on me, drunk or not. I am going to defend myself as needed. If that means shooting and killing the attacker than so be it, the attacker made a bad life decision and will suffer the consequences of his actions.

I don't give a fat rat's ass about what some anti-gunner has to say about me defending myself. If I made a legitimate attempt to get away from the attacker and he pursued me, how far am I suppose to retreat? how much of a beating am I suppose to take? I am not talking about the shooting of a teenage boy by a block watch captain with bad decision making skills. I am talking about stopping an unprovoked violent attack on my person that could very easily result in death or serious and permanent injuries. Who is going to take care of me after I am paralyzed by the attacker?, you Mr. anti-gunner, yea right. As human beings we have certain rights and one of those is the right to defend ourselves.

You can argue until hell freezes over about how life would be so much better without guns and of this I have no doubt, but that's not the way it is. Until the time comes when the country has evolved to the point where we don't feel the need to kill each other, and that's the real issue here, then I will carry a gun and I will use it if I have to and I don't care what anyone else has to say about it, carry on.
