We can not defend our property using a weapon.. It's right in our constitution.

Self defense is not an excuse up here to shoot someone.

Tough to beat one of these:

They're simple, inexspensive, work every time and are as tough as a sack of hammers.

Handguns have their place (like in the glove box). But handguns are best used to get yourself to a shotgun or rifle.

Well....can't you put the perp on the AHFS committee? That'll teach them.

In Texas after dark you have the right to defend your property including the use of deadly force. If there is an intruder on my property after dark I have no idea what his intent is, I can shoot then call the police.

I would move if it were me. WTF ! You can't even defend yourselves? Buch of #ussy politicians up there if you ask me. What about a Cross Bow or heavy baseball bat? Is that against the law to? Not worth a damn though if the perp is armed.

Its tough to carry a shot gun while riding my Harley ! .44 mag Ruger RedHawk is MUCH eaiser to carry while riding. I have a short Mossberg 500 12 ga right next to the bed when Im home.

Nope.. we can't beat him with a bat either..LOL

Hadn't you noticed the part of detained untill police arrived.

Friend of mine (former Pathfinder) also had the privelege of detaining a suspect, lol.

Without a gun culture, Some can still rely on fists. Guns cut down on the fun time. lol.
