"Good" days for criminals in Dallas
Well it's been a good couple of days for criminals in Dallas. Here are a couple of headlines from the Dallas Morning News. As much as I dislike guns, it sure makes me remotely consider getting one some day.
West Dallas business owner kills 2 suspected burglars in 3 weeks Quote:

In Illinois, the first guy would still have been in jail so he wouldn't have been around to shoot the second burglar...

Gotta love it. He's even shooting people outside of his business!

Horray for Texas. A few less burglars in our court and prison system. We have similar laws in KS, that's the way it should be.

If this keeps up, either all the bad guys will be gone, or they will think twice about breaking into peoples homes.

you could easily go to prison for killing an assailant inside your home in California

Shooting the other guy in the front lawn would get you put away for a long time around here. Of course, Jesse Jackson would show up and protest too... Oh, and when this stuff does happen in IL, it is rarely reported in the newspapers. They wouldn't want people to think that guns could save innocent lives or anything.

Glad Missouri just passed a law changing the requirement to show you retreated before using deadly force. Now if the bad guy is just in your house you can put a quick end to the threat.

Once, at Wal Mart, I bought a video game, a box of shells, and six-pack of beer. I had to make each purchase at a different counter...

I always found it amusing that Wal Mart keeps their cartridge ammo behind the counter, but shotgun shells out on the shelf. Apparently shotguns aren't dangerous.

+1 Lol. I have always thought that was pretty funny too. Last I checked, 00 buckshot will make you just as dead as any bullet.

Kurt, your daughter is such a good shot she is showing off by closing her eyes.
