Not admitted in Texas, but in many states, including mine, items affixed to real property are deemed to be real property.

Fire at will and the rest of them

Can you be a resident from another state or multi state CCW holder to get in on this?

Dammm, thank you sir,

it's settled I'm moving to America's greatest state

That happens to be Idaho.  I would have moved back to Texas, but to hell with all that humidity.

Even the derp is bigger in Texas 

What's the definition of "moveable"?

Communists are an invasive species.  No license, limit, or season.

Yes, I do.

Just stop them in the commission and then duct tape them upside down to the statue.

Can we do that here? 

Just spitballin' here; but I'll bet if a few of them got shot, the vandalism would stop right quick.

Would putting a statue of Jefferson Davis on your lawn be hunting over bait?

 

minor quibble.  Texas would cede Austin. If Austin lead the effort, it would be seceding from Texas.

met my quota for the quarter.

At least we have ours mostly contained.  FL has a lot of work to do to get them all grouped together.

This.

Just because you "CAN" Does not mean you can get away with it in front of a Jury

Hunting of humans is not regulated. So I don't think so.

However, you might get pinched for "inducing" or entrapment I suppose. You know the cases were "We" are, "it was a good shoot until that." or "Yeah, you cant do that, but I'm not saying guilty. The criminal was on his property.".

If the state doesn't care enough to stop the vandalism with cops and instead direct them to stand down I sure as hell am not going to do it and cause the shitstorm of all shitstorms.

It's supposed to be just like all the talk about illegal immigration.  Stops is almost dead in it's tracks with just words.

Happens just ONE time and I bet most of ANTIFA will be changing tactics quick in TX.  Which will most certainly include a few chest beaters.  Not too many for the boys on here from TX to handle.  

Here's the thing. We can use force during the daytime, just not deadly force, to protect the statues.  If, in the course of that circumstances warrant the use of deadly force, it's still good to go. We have no duty to retreat and if the threat to the statue becomes a threat to us...

It's fine, here in the Panhandle.

Tallahassee and everything else to the East and Southeast, is the issue.

I will not acknowledge the Panhandle as the "conservativeish reserve".

Congrats Tex

Fuck, Texas seems so awesome.  

Wish we had those laws here.

Just not in Austin, Dallas, Houston, Williamson County

Not one, but all statues were removed from a Texas University. People are lemmings, it would be a piece of cake to get the shooter convicted. 

Just look at all the statue and name hysteria that started literally overnight. For no good reason except for the paid agitators at work.

I say we converge at The Alamo and "give them their canon back".

Even if you walked, no way you win the civil suit.

There is no "work on that."

Austin is a lost cause.

I don't believe this will work in left wing towns like Austin. For all the bluster about Texas, it is chock full of left leaning liberals, pinko politicians, and cock suckers.

Planting a bomb could put it into the arson category. As long as the force is used prior to the arson and not afterward......

I'm an idiot cook and even I can read its regarded to after dark, private property and or movable property IE someone is dicking around with your car in a dark lot at midnight as you leave the office or is found using the crowbar key to enter your work shop out back you can pop the weasel ricky tik... BUT..that criminal mischief in the destruction of public property after dark may be an interesting bellwether...
Chef..

Amen...

The night time caveat is in the bible...

This

Godamn I love Texas.

Step one- get permit for free speech rally
Step two- make large  confederate statue ,put on trailer of brodozer or in the bed.
Step three- center it near the rally.
Step four - hunt over bait.

No, night is defined as 30 minutes after sundown until 30 minutes before sunup. No mention of other phenomena that may or may not cause night- like conditions.

So could you blast away at ppl stealing your political signs at night then as well?

Love it

A lot of these statues have been moved in the last few days.

Oh. Fuck.... I cannot fucking wait!!! God damn it this is awesome. Quick. SOmeone get live feeds up around the statues so we can see this shit.

I love Texas

I don't suggest you test this one.

It's a homicide charge, and a trial and a judge and a jury and someone dead over a statue. Even if you win, you will be broke, you will be famous, and you will eternally be the @sshole who killed someone over a statue. If you lose, you will be imprisoned, and you will eternally be the @sshole who killed someone over a statue. Also, civil suits galore. You will have shat things up for every other gun owner in the country, providing the media and the Left with even more evidence that we are all "bloodthirsty racists", as well as "proving that the statue is a symbol of hate and as such needs to come down". They are waiting for it. You'd give them all they need.

You might be tempted to the goalpost way over there in the "lawful self-defense" corner to make the case that killing someone over a statue will bear no real cost, so long as you can get the vandals to take a poke at you. Obviously, if someone is trying to kill or injure you, then you have a much better chance of a solid legal defense. But that isn't the scenario described in the article that was posted. Even that one is dicey if it appears that you went looking for a confrontation. You shouldn't conflate killing a home invader in your living room at 3 am with killing a 19yo vandal in a Che t-shirt in a park at 3 pm.

Taking it a step further, if your thought process runs "IF I KILL SOMEONE FOR ATTACKING A STATUE, ALL THE OTHERS WILL BE DETERRED" you'd likely be wrong. Nope. It'll just up the ante. And you will still just be the @sshole who killed someone over a statue that you didn't own.

Would you kill someone to defend a random file cabinet in the county courthouse? This isn't private property in most cases - these statues are generally owned by municipalities, government bodies with money to do repairs and police forces to protect their property. Damaging city, county, or state property shouldn't be a matter of concern to you that rises to the level of justifying deadly force. If you are willing to kill someone attempting to vandalize a statue but not a file cabinet, then the difference is the symbolic value. If you are willing to kill someone over symbolic value, you are more hardcore than I am, definitely. You may also be a bona-fide psychopath.

Be real, guys. I know we all talk shit when we are hanging out at the Nuge's ranch, but this is the internet. It's serious business!

I know that I used a bunch of big faggy words, and I am a Commie Antifa or something for suggesting that you might not oughta kill people over statues. In reality, I probably vote the same way you do on 2/3 or more issues. I even support the principle of "he needed killing'" in many cases.  But we differ on the topic of "killing strangers over vandalism of government property".

If you do it, it'll cost you.

GOD BLESS TX!
