For the size, capacity, and caliber, the Beretta 84 makes very little sense these days. Still keep one in the safe. Can't help but love it.

Kind of depends on the gun for me. Long guns get beaten up pretty good. With pistols, I'm all over the place. I like the way blued 1911s age. Glocks I don't much care. I seem to be a little more careful with my Berettas. I have no idea why.

It's already moved over to the House Committee (HB910). For anyone who'd like to listen in: http://tlchouse.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=9&event_id=1087

Very sorry to hear this.

Thinking this has to be a troll thread, boys.

Yeah, there's a big nutjob with dreds that hangs over in the area. I believe he's a Katrinite...he cropped up about the right time. My hangout of choice in that area is Sambuca. No 51% sign. The guy I'm thinking of might not be who you had in mind when you bought your P3AT. Les Baer is the...

Matted dreds, blue sweatshirt?

I fly with both handguns and long guns quite a bit. I've yet to have any trouble with the TSA. There's no way I would attempt to fly using the LifeJacket device to enclose a pistol.

Note that Bogie specifies "IN YOUR AREA." Believe it or not, a significant portion of the country is precisely nothing like Scranton. ;)

Bogie gives good advice. I agree that it is important to exercise our rights in order not to lose them, but it's also important to be smart about it. The spectacle of a gun rights advocate being carted off in cuffs doesn't help us too much.

Well, you almost had it...right up until the last line. We have precisely the same protections when it comes to defending neighbor's property as we do our own.

Yeah it does: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5866090.html

Yeeeeaaahh...but don't. :)

MCGunner, "Theft during the nighttime," and "criminal mischief during the nighttime" are just additional things someone can get shot for in addition to "arson, burglary, robbery, [and] aggravated robbery" with regard to property crime. The burglary stands alone just fine (note the commas...

You're right, Guillermo. Self Defense was his defense. We're just discussing the other statutes that could specifically have come into play had he been True Billed.

I keep trying to make this point, TR, but no one wants to listen to me. One of my best friends, a shooter and a lawyer, looked at it, argued with me, re-read it, then said, "Oh..." The word "or" is especially important when discussing statutes.

Halelujah, brother! Please go forth and spread the word to all those of your mindset in your lovely state. Stay out of Texas! :D

No...there's an "or" between Burglary and Theft During the Nightime in 9.42 also. Those "or's" will get you every time. Two separate defenses. My opinion only.

www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5864151.html Texas' Deadly Force laws leave room to protect a third person's property. This was a pretty extreme test of that defense, but the Grand Jury held with Mr. Horn in spite of influence from Quanell X and others. The statute is fairly clear...

Perhaps. You're reading Scalia addressing what the court was asked to address.
