Re: Where to rent/shoot a .50BMG in Texas??

Well, actually, at my home range - Eagle Gun Range in Lewisville, you don't pay until you are leaving, but that's not what I meant.

Re: Can I shoot an animal that is a threat?

Wow, y'all have been busy while I was away. :P I need to take a closer look at some of these responses when it isn't after midnight.

Can I shoot an animal that is a threat?

Question for y'all: As a CHL holder, if I am being chased or attacked by a wild or domestic animal that has put me in fear of my life or my child's life, would I be legally justified in shooting it?
