I know the definition of the word. I want to know what Art Acevedo thinks he's going to do to accomplish that, the actual real-world steps. I think he's full of hot air.howdy wrote:vet

Re: Austin PD chief Acevedo warns against "gun enthusiasts"
Well, since my curiosity got the best of me, I decided to email the Austin PD and ask them what Chief Acevedo meant by using the word "vett"? I mentioned that I read it in a quote and also that I cannot remember anything in Texas law defining "vetting" in relation to firearms owners. I don't live anywhere near Austin and when I do occasionally go down that way, I take that nice toll by-pass around the place. We'll see if they even bother emailing me back (doubtful). On the off chance they do, I'll post the reply here on this thread.
