Although the attached is an amusing photo that appeals to our basic sense of Justice I have a thought for you. Should one of those knuckleheads have to use force to protect his family he has announced:
a. That it was premeditated
b. That he was intoxicated and therefore his judgement was impaired
c. That he would use deadly force to protect property not life

.

So what? Most states do not prosecute or permit suing for any of the above. The "if you shoot a attacker you will get sued" crap is mostly fake.

Anyone know what the guy with the big hand gun is holding?

If that's not an "X" frame S&W (most likely in .500 S&W mag, but could be 460), then I don't know what that is.

No shit, one of them has a huge fricking revolver.

This was my first thought:

www.magnumresearch.com/BFR.asp

Magnum Research's BFR. Supposedly stands for "Biggest, Finest, Revolver." I'd wager in the shop, dreaming this MFer up, it prolly stood for Biggest F**king Revolver. Just my $0.015, though.

God Bless Texas

That looks like LA (Slidel maybe?)

I can't believe no one has said

"Ding, Ding -- We have a winner!"

yet.

I think sum-rifle is prolly our winner. I'm almost certain this is LA and not TX. The shitty streets/roads are a dead giveaway.

Here in TX we call that a pocket gun. They are useful in situations where you can't wear a real gun on the outside. You see, everything is bigger in TX.

Unfortunately, like in public. Sadly, no open carry in TX. Let's work to change that. It sickens me for the bastards from AZ (

), CO, etc, etc, etc, to be able to use that as "evidence" they are "freer" than Texas/Texans.

Choke on it, SUHU.

probably because everyone was at home protecting their stuff instead of attending school to learn 5th grade grammar.

Not one AR15??

Not ANY kid of an EBR to be seen

Yet another reason why I believe this was not a "Texas" picture.

The major areas in the "Cone of Death" for Rita were Houston and, to a lesser degree, Dallas. We've got enough members in those areas (DFW Crew, Houston Crew, etc) that, statistically, an EBR should show up somewhere.

If I'm wrong, and this pic *is* in TX, it is a perfect representative of a small/nonrandom sampling error.

My dad sent this out to the kids in the family with the above photo. As a lifelong police officer it makes alot of sense.

a. Not much more so than the actual purchase of a firearm for home defense would/could be considered "premeditated".

b. Holding a beer for a "photo op" does not constitute prima facie proof one is "intoxicated". What did he blow?

c. Txinvestigator or one of the other specialists on TX law can correct me if I'm wrong, but here in TX there's no law that says "Protecting life, good; protecting property, bad."

It is my sincere hope that you were just playing Devil's Advocate, from the POV of a POS civil atty.

Lord knows, as a lifelong police officer, you've prolly seen enough of 'em to be more'n a little jaded.

It wont lookm good when the attorney produces the picture for the jury as an example of your charecter when you DO go to trial, though. Regardless of what reality IS, the perception will not do you any good in the juries eyes.

Granted, but how is it *much* different than these "lighthearted" signs:

* Trespassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again.
* Forget the dog. Beware of owner.
* This house protected by Smith & Wesson three nights a week. You guess which three!

Note: All of which my uncle owns and posts visibly.

I was also thinking of those as being bad signs to have around for exactly that reason. Ayoob had a column about just that a few years ago in one of the gun mags. Don't give the other side any ammunition to use against you in court.

I would also guess it would depend on venue, etc. Judge, jury pool, actual jury, etc. It might actually be a *plus* if the judge and most of the jury had at least one of those signs.

Not too many states/counties I would put money on that equation working in the shooter's favor, though...........

(bottom line: I *do* see the point, it just angers me [on principle] that we've devolved to that degree.)
