Guys I understand the discussion on how to meet and greet; what is proper and legal and what is a perceived reality for others. Many along the border do not want anything to do with some authority figure for what ever reason.
O.K. they come to my house and I meet them with The Constitution in my hand and clothed in a don't tread on me flag..Their response and report will probably indicate the encounter and ?? make up your own happy ending. Cause and effect, anyone?
They come to the door and I am just myself, a licensed responsible CHL holder for the state of Texas who purchased ammo for hunting/training and teaching. I answer their questions and pump them for information; two way street. Their report should indicate the encounter. Their questions got answered. They were sent to my/your residence to ask and get to the bottom of why and when; not their choice just part of their job.
I shoot with Border Patrol, a few ICE, and even a few LEOs who all are just guys trying to do the best they can with what they have to work with. I honestly do not know any jerks in the whole bunch that I have encountered.
So, I can go into a full blown confrontation mode and get one set of results or I can just be myself and see what happens. These are my choices as I see them and may not be for everyone. I doubt I will have company after my order arrives but if I do I know what will be my response.
Hahahah my neighbor is one of the big boys for border patrol but I have not been able to catch him when out and about. I do plan on speaking with him when it appears to be a good time or I catch him outside.
Whew, I am retired; it seems I am busier now than I was when I worked; fighting injustice (in my mind), able to crawl over small barriers at the speed of an old lizard, all for mom and apple pie! Hooo Rah!
