It's not Austin. Kingsland is about 50 miles northwest of Austin. The DA, Sam Oatman, is an old-timer.03Lightningrocks wrote:I dunno Jim. Austin is fairly liberal and the issue may be one of anti-gun sentiments more than burglar sympathy.

Re: Additional Charges Filed Based on Shots Fired
...my feelings also. No way am I going to go through all the legal crud so I can save someones TV or DVD player. That is why we have theft insurance. Nobody is going to pay my legal fees because I shot some criminal for stealing their DVD player. It just is not worth it.DEADEYE1964 wrote:I went to Charles Cotton's seminar last week in Mesquite and one of the many things I took from it was make your rules now, do not wait until you are under stress to think about how you should or would react.
