So are you saying that EVERYONE from texas would have shot him? Im aware that there was a case in Texas where a guy shot and killed people breaking
into his neighbors house , but that one guy does not represent all of Texas.
To assume that 2.15 million people would all handle that situation exactly like that one guy did, is not wise and largely absurd.
While im aware that there are lots of people who would shoot first and ask questions later, I know from personal experience that not every one in
texas would shoot.
I myself am born and raised right here in the great state of Texas. My house has been broken into, and I do hae a gun. I didnt shoot him. I chased him
off, but didnt shoot.
My grandfather on my mom's side who was also born and raised in Texas, had his house broken into. He happened to be in his bed room when some one
started to crawl through the window. He ran in the other room grabbed his gun, came back and said "turn around and get back outside." the guy left
with out a single shot fired.
Anyway, before I get way off topic, let me just say again, I think this lady handled this situation perfectly. She was calm,cool, and collected. She
made him call the cops on himself and she should be proud. Thanks to her no one was hurt. Good going Grandma!
