I am sorry the man died, but glad to hear about the No-Bill.

I can still recall the Ft Worth CHL self-defense shooting trial years ago where the press reports got it all wrong from the get go when it was clear from even the preliminary evidence that the delivery driver was cornered in his car by a violent attacker.

Having been the subject of news articles on unrelated topics, I can say press rarely if ever gets the story right in the salient details. And the people willing to talk and say the most quotable things who end up being quoted know the least about what occurred and are most likely pathological liars in their personal lives.

It would be interesting if any of our Houston area members could try to contact the shooter to get his testimony of the event now that the case has been resolved.

We'll just have to wait and see.

I recall a case in Fort Worth of road rage where a man got shot during an "altercation" after an "accident." by a CHL holder.

The police pressed charges and the jury threw it out.

Turns out the dead man was whaling the tar out of the other man who was trapped in his car by his seat belt.

I rode the bus a lot when I was younger and there are people who harass you sometimes. Some of them are regulars. It can definately be not fun.

If you are so inclined, take the DART train out of Richardson down into Dallas or back, especially after 9pm on Fri or Sat. Gangbangers ride it a lot.

Most of us can easily avoid trouble, but some people can't. Lets see how this plays out.
