Well I mainly get a kick out of this because I am from Texas, live in Houston to be exact.
And this beautifully illustrates the "cowboy" stereotype for Texans. But lemme tell you this. 1) I do NOT ride a horse to work 2) I do NOT wear a cowboy hat or boots 3) I HATE Country music 4) and most importantly, I do NOT nor will I ever own a gun, unless of course there is a virus that wipes out 99% of the population and all that is left is the good and the evil and I am forced to defend myself and my family...=P However, I DO think that our "good ole Texas boy" pres, Mr. GW is gonna get us in trouble here (if he hasn't pretty much already), with a similar mentality as what is listed below =( -chris -----Original Message----- From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 31, 2003 3:39 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Liberal vs. Conservative vs. Texan debate If I'm an expert shot with the weapon (and only if I'm an expert shot) then I'd aim to wound. Thigh, leg, arm, etc. But it would depend on the situation a bit more. Does it look like he was chasing someone? If so, then he may not be dangerous to me. If not, he's a target. The situation has to be defined a little better. And if I'm carrying a Glock, then I've got to have a license and know when/how to use it so there's no concern with the law. Do I care if he's poor or oppressed? no more than I'd care if he's rich and the presidents kid. Threatening with death is threatening with death no matter who or what the person is. Not only do I have strong conservative leanings, I take things seriously many times. :) > To anyone who hasn't seen this, I got a kick out of it . . . . . > > > --------------------------------------------------------- > > > > Question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two > small > children.
