The shooting is so sad. We need to pray for the family's loses. I am in favor of a law allowing LE to kill the shooter with the smoking gun on the spot. An eye for an eye. No different from killing a rabid animal.

That Austin shot most likely was a lucky shot. I mean holding a horse, night time, long shot with hand gun. However the prep went down.

Seems to me many Texas LEO's are pretty straight shooters. Austin LEO shot nut at over 200 yards one handed and holding a couple of horses. Garland Cops shoot the terrorist with two shots, Waco cops shut down the gun battle with bikers.

Bring a whole new meaning to "don't mess with Texas"

Been traveling and missed the replies. Thanks for the input. I do respect our troopers and understand by my submission I am allowing them to abuse their powers. I have no "real" answer to the problem. When I am 200-300 miles from home I tend to comply. Now you let one of my local PD try th...

I was stopped on a Sunday afternoon just west of Abilene for no reason. I was asked if the two trooper could search my truck to whic...

I am ready to apply for a CHL. I know I must submit my criminal record and found where the DPS site to get that. The problem I have is where to get the disposition of the charges. Back 30 years ago I worked in the oil field we were a rowdy group and all drank like fishes. As such, I have a PI and DW...

Our DPS and Sate Troopers have my utmost respect. They are out there all alone miles from help. I have never met one who was not well trained and polite. I travel often and have received a few "well deserved" citations but more often warning. I am not CHL but do carry a pistol concealed in...

I am new here. Been following the forum for awhile. I hope to learn all I can prior to applying for my CHL. I love to bird hunt but time does not allow me to hunt as much as I'd like. I am 62 and have lived my life free of trouble and never felt the need to arm myself outside my home. I have always ...
