CNN clip from one of the last local gun shops here in Austin. The owner Chuck is a super nice guy, always try and walk out of his shop with something purchased.

There's an uptick of daytime armed assaults and robberies inside homes and between curb and front doors here in North Texas. 3 of which the m/o and perp count/description are consistent...in the same day. Plenty of armed citizens in this area....matter of time.

On a related note, we don't suffer from a shortage of speeding ticket writing scooter sherlocks.

The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

BINGO, I was right (as usual) a democrap from Texas chimed in. Actually I usually have my butler do it, but I gave him the day off. Still you get the prize for the "dumbass-unrelated-retort" of the day. Ergo, with that level of cluelessness you must be one. Maybe I should rethink your prize as you obviously took the "bait"...

Oh and for the record, the correct terminology is "any". Then again I forgot to consider to whom I was addressing....

Daytime door kick burglaries and gun / knife point robberies aren't uncommon even in safe big cities like Austin. But they're not nearly as common as "conservative" big cities like Dallas or Houston.

And I enjoyed the story of an Austin youth minister, who chased down a home burglar on foot and in a car for miles until the cops caught up.

There are hunters and prey wherever you go, the story just made it big because it's Texas.

You must have me confused with another humble hispanic, jap loving, sheep rancher.

I have been fortunate enough to have benefited from working in the IC industry during it's most profitable years. I went to university, invested well, and I am very frugal. Never have I worked for the Government or any non-profit organization.

My politics are based solely on sound economics.
