Mentally Disturbed Texas Man Killed In BATF Raid - Military Size Weapon Cache Found Associated Press 7/19/07 by staff writer: Storm Van Brook (Kyle, Texas AP) - A Texas man was shot and killed by Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents when reports from neighbors alerted police...

Here's the post about the incident in sept 2003 http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?threadid=41295 Here is what the outcome was: The prosecutor just called and said they plea-bargained the case. Here is what he got. He had no prior record and was about 45 years old. 1. 18...

Texas makes it easy. They have to post a sign in the window if they derive more than 50% of their sales from achohol. The sign warns you that you are not allowed to bring in a concealed weapon. Seems pretty simple to me. Why do some states have to make everything so complicated sometimes?

There are assualt rifle laws in CA that are not like laws in other states. You should read up on this because some penalties can be quite severe, even for a pre-ban assualt rifle. The quick run down was nearly all CA citizens owning assualt rifles required registration a few years ago. If you...

"Of course, Agent. But if I draw everytime someone comes within 23 feet of me who might be a threat, even at night, I'm gonna have a lot of holster wear. Hefty lawyer bills, too." "People get approached all the time...least I do. Must be my wit and charm." Thumper, Of course you don't...

I think you have to realize if a man continues to advance on your position after he's been advised visually that you have a gun, and he has also been warned verbally that he WILL BE SHOT IF HE CONTINUES, he would had to have been intent on doing bodily harm to you if he continued. Wouldn't you...

Pax, that story is so sobering as to what can happen if you are not prepared. I am thankful my attacker was of a more sane variant. It could have just as easily gone for the worse. I personally feel this is proof why you should always take the steps I have itemized below. Because......you just...

My approach to allowing the attacker to see the gun (which did not work in this case because my I was taken by surprise) has worked for me in the past and will always be my first order of defense. I firmly believe you should never let an aggressor get close enough to attack you if you are aware...

The 1st guy was the crazy neighbor that beat his family that I mentioned earlier. He was getting aggressive on the road I jogged on near our houses, and was threatening to kick my azz. Simply pulling my Airweight .38 Bodyguard from the CD case I worn around my waste and holding it at my side...

I guess I should add that I was diagnosed about 3 years ago with a tumor in my chest that is 4"x9" long. It's benign and sits squarely in between my 2 lungs and next to my heart. It stopped growing so I decided to leave it and not undergo open heart surgery to have it removed. The negative to...

It's cool guys. I really appreciate all the feedback. I was not defending myself, only stating how I would handle a situation. I am 45 years old and have had 2 occasions in my life to which I drew my weapon on an aggressive person. In one case, simply showing the weapon at my side gave the...

Lot's of great info...thanks!! Let's examine this situation. The guy was originally thought to be asking if we needed help (Texans do this all the time when you're on the side of the road). Then he gets out of his car and comes towards me (just thought maybe he wanted to chat about my new car...

It turns out the guy has lived in Texas (or had a Texas DL) since 93 and his criminal record in Texas is clean (A PI friend ran it for me). I guess the APD will run a federal check when they see me about the warrant. I know the drill on this. I had been thru a situation with a crazy neighbor...

I found out who the guy is: He is 46 years old, owns 2 cars (an 86 Olds and a 92 T-Bird). He has lived in a apartment 1/4 mile off of Interstate 35 for a few years (assuming he stills lives at the place his cars are registered to, and the address on his drivers license). The area he lives is...

Regarding the question about metal detectors and a 30.06 sign... There is a sign posted that weapons are not allowed anywhere on the premises. They do not have metal detectors but they do have random searches as you enter or leave the building. Technically, company policy states I am not...
