It's Texas...he could be!
God Bless Texas!
As I recall, this happened before in Texas. It was in a square in front of the courthouse. An office worker opened his window and shot the perp.
I hope no one else dies...
I certainly had a loaded revolver there in my car myself...
Well with the local paranoid liberal freaks around here it shouldn't take too long before they start having cars searched before anybody can park in the parking lots.
Top part of my post was copied from another poster. Read the thread before calling me wrong buckle. Since perl is one of holders people let’s see if we hear the crickets.
I was trying to make a point. Instead of looking it up you perpetuated the wrong impression.
If any two of those apply...
Get it?

So you can just simmer down, @bucko.
When I am in areas that are not my home stomping grounds I feel the same way. I am very close to the Uncle who is a judge and especially close to one cousin who is on a nearby SWAT team. Because of those family connections I am well aware of law enforcement opinion in our county and surrounding counties. It is a blessing.
Since we are a rural county and surrounded by the same, we also know other law enforcement people and a couple of judges fairly well. They are good people, some friends and some just acquaintances but it goes without saying that their well being is also of primary importance to me. Being in an environment where we know these people familiarly also probably gives some license in carrying. I am confident in the knowledge of those family and friends though, that they are 100% in support of 2nd amendment rights. Others from outside our area would not know this so it is probably a unique advantage to us old timers.
My luck I’d have a heart attack and the EMTs would find it.
Funny you should mention that. I was in a collision 150 miles from home in January. I was incapacitated enough that the ambulance personnel had to remove me from my car. I was conscious and the first police officer to arrive on sight was all the good things we want our officers to be. I did have those first moments of "oh $hi+" because I was in unfamiliar territory, I was incapacitated and I did have explain to the officer where my 2 weapons were located in the car as I was giving him permission to get my license and insurance out of my purse. I had not been in that kind of situation before. I know that I am all legal, but I wasn't in this home area and you just don't know when you will run into a gun control freak. And that officer was great. It was no big deal at all. But, my already high anxiety from being bashed into climbed about 80 notches telling the officer where my weapons were.
As a sidenote to that, I was put in the ambulance and taken to the hospital. My car was towed. In Texas we aren't supposed to have firearms in hospitals but I did not want my guns going with the car being towed either. I didn't know what they would do but when I asked the police officer he just put the 2nd weapon that wasn't a "purse gun" into my purse also, zipped it up and the EMT carried it into the ambulance with us and nothing was ever said as the purse was kept with me at the hospital. That's just a scenario that I had never thought about with CHL. I definitely appreciate that sort of law enforcement and EMT people. They just "get it."
:p
