Oh wow, a Texas numbnut shows up. Yeah, 54 miles from the border. I mean tell me the thought process here. Uh, let's call the Border Patrol. Look, you flippin Texans are all hat and no cattle, to use a Texas phrase. Around here, things work differently.
When my kids were in elementary school one morning I was awakened by a phone call. My wife always took them to school, I slept in unless I had to get up to get the boys moving, which they certainly didn't want to happen. It was the phone tree. Some numbnut had made threats against the school children, said he was coming to the school with a gun. Honestly, I didn't worry about it. The sheriff department apprehended him a couple of miles from the school, they saved his life. They told him, flat out, there were at least half a dozen parents at the school parking lot locked and loaded and they would have blown his ass away the moment he stepped out of his car.
There is a bank in this rural area. It has had two robbery attempts in the last fifty years. The first one, actually probably more than 50 years ago, the guy fled on foot in the woods. My grandfather was part of the "posse" that chased him down and captured him. The second attempt was a little more than ten years ago. The robber pulls a gun and was promptly shot dead by no less than three customers.
The difference here, we don't talk about it. We don't support open carry. We require concealed weapons permits, and you have to prove you can actually shoot to get one. Guns are tools, and they require both discipline and training to use. We don't hide them under our beds, loaded. I keep mine at the family "armory", a hidden room at my parent's house. No place for guns in the home, nine times more likely to be used to kill a family member than any home invader, especially when you are a mile down a private dirt road.
No one is foolish enough to walk into the local high school and start shooting. Hell, dozens of students would run to their car and get their hunting rifles. No need for teachers to have guns, half the male students have them in their car. And not a one of them is an "assault rifle". The local boy scout troop, the first thing they do each year is go on a coon hunt and make coonskin caps. And yes, they use dogs.
This area has been called a "hornet's nest" since before the founding of this nation. We keep to ourselves. But you threaten any of us, you fight all of us. But you Texans are a bunch of loud mouth posers, cowards at heart, as indicated by the actions of local law enforcement in this situation.
