Subject: Liberals, Conservatives and Texans

Question:

You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges.

You are carrying a Glock .40 and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.

What do you do?

Liberal Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!

Does the man look poor or oppressed?

Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack?

Could we run away?

What does my wife think?

What about the kids?

Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand?

What does the law say about this situation?

Does the Glock have an appropriate safety built into it?

Why am I carrying a loaded gun and what kind of message does this send to society and my children?

Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?

Does he definitely want to kill me or would he just be content to wound me?

If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me?

This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days to try to come to a conclusion.

I would say you got ripped off, only 9 shots out of a Glock .40. Even here in CA we get a 10 round clip then 1 in the pipe, that gives us 11 shots.

Love Texas!

We don't have as much liberal BS here. I lived in both NY and CA before coming to Texas and they can’t compare. In Texas common sense is still the norm not the exception.

Texas:

No State income tax

We have the death penalty and use it

Republican are now in-charge of State Govt.

Affordable housing

Love football

Beautiful women

Wide open spaces

Great people

“Small town values” are still around

Hey, I'm in Arizona and we have some of that as well. With a permit you can carry concealed, but anyone can carry open. It's great. In fact, I have a CCW and carry all the time.

For me it would be:

Bang! Bang!...... Bang! No need to do more than that, wouldn't want to waste the ammo.

Here is another good one. In Texas you can use deadly force to protect you and your property. If someone enters your home to steal or do what ever you can shot them dead. None of these liberal excuses work:

He only had a knife you should have only wounded him.

He didn’t have a weapon.

He didn’t point his gun at you.

He wasn’t dangerous?

He was he trying to leave.

He should not have been killed for trying to take a stereo.

He didn’t understand English

He was high and drinking

He came from a broken home.

Those are all BS. They may fly in NY, CA of CT but they don’t fly in the Great State of Texas.

At least in Arnoldfornia we dont have "Dry Counties". Went see a Cowboys game a few years back and did the travel agent tell the Arnoldfornian's that Irving is in a dry county? Nooooooooooo. Had to drive to Arlington to get beers before we went to the Cowboys game!!! At least here we can just step over a few liberals passed out in front of the liquor store anywhere in the state!

And hey, havent you peole ever heard of hills! The only lump of dirt as far as the eye can see is a freakin overpass!

Sorry for the thread jack but I hadda defend my homeland state!

We have heard of hills that's why we have a place called the "The Hill Country" which is the Austin area. Texas is a big State, some flat some not flat.

I agree about the "dry areas" but it's really not that big of a deal because "wet areas" are usually close by.

I hate those dry areas. Last time I fished Lake Fork it was an awful long drive for beers.

Felt I should post this again.

THREE MEN ARE SITTIN' ON A BENCH. ONE'S A TEXAN

WEARING A STETSON, ONE'S A MUSLIM WEARING A TURBAN,

AND THE LAST AN APACHE WITH AN EAGLE FEATHER

WOVEN IN HIS HAIR. THE INDIAN IS RATHER GLUM AND SAYS

"ONCE MY PEOPLE WERE MANY, BUT NOW WE ARE FEW.

THE MUSLIM PUFFS UP AND SAYS "ONCE MY PEOPLE WERE FEW,

BUT NOW WE ARE MANY MILLIONS."

THE TEXAN ADJUSTS HIS HAT, FINISHES ROLLING A SMOKE,

LEANS BACK IN HIS CHAIR AND DRAWLS, "THAT'S CAUSE WE

AIN'T PLAYED COWBOYS AND MUSLIMS YET!"

Phenix,

I was just in San Antonio two weeks ago.

What a GREAT city! That riverwalk is one of the best concentrations of bars/foods in America, at least if you like Mexican.
