Was doing some research on the Joe Horn case, and I found this articel posted on the TIME website on Thursday July 3rd. The article was making reference to how our court system is sympathetic to people protecting themselves from intruders

As Shannon Edmonds, a lobbyist for the Texas District and County Attorneys Association, put it: "There's an unwritten rule in Texas courthouses: It ain't against the law to kill a ("crook" profanity warning)."

I read that quote and just about spit Dr. Pepper out of my nose. It was priceless. The abrasiveness, blunt nature of the quote was quite humurous given the source. I'm so used to lawyers, or anyone attached to the legal profession to be reserved and cautious in their words being used in public print. We complain many times about the liberal prosecutors out that that want to disarm us, but seeing this quote would suggest that they are in the minority.

(PS I hope I'm not infringing on the profanity rules, as it was a quote from an article. I did mask out the questionable word)
