We need more Texas Ranger philosophy

[truckinbutch]

A small Texas border town in the late 1800's was plagued by bandits from both sides of the border.
>They petitioned Austin for a company of rangers to protect them .
>One Ranger rode into town and commandeered a very small building for a 1 cell jail . He caught the first bandit to enter the town and put him in jail .
>
>A second bandit rode into town and the Ranger captured him . The townfolk chided the Ranger .
What's the plan now ? Your jail is already full .
>The Ranger marched the first bandit out of the jail and shot him in the head . He then placed the second bandit in the cell and settled in to wait .....
There never was a third bandit ...................................................
>
>Deterrence by example ?................................................

I have always liked this quote. "One riot .... one Ranger."

Bro. Tom, I think THAT Ranger... Walker (Texas Ranger), etc. are ALL trained in self-defense, and laws of the state re. how to handle criminals, etc. WE (civilians) can ALSO become trained in self-defense, crime prevention, state laws on self-defense/crime prevention, and be aware of Law Enforcement Resources; we CAN take on a "MINDSET" of a Texas Ranger... BUT! In general, we CANNOT take the law, into our own hand(s). Let us ALL learn & take self-defense courses, crime prevention courses, know state & Fed laws on what we CAN do & can't do; a GOOD place to start would be your local Citizen's Police Academies. Wife & I participated in Lynchburg, Va. CPA; Amherst Co. & Bedford Co. Sheriff's Academies; WE became part of THE FAMILY.

BRIT Comix series, eh? A country with NO guns, HAS to have a way to scare "wanna bees" criminals. Judge Dredd... www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judge_Dredd

It should bother you more that a country with no guns (totally false btw) sees the future America being populated by psychotic killers and merciless killer cops! Then again, in my opinion, all that's missing from "present day" are the "mega cities".

Dano, You a BRIT or a SWEDE? Share YOUR experience; it may be ENLIGHTENING.

 

[Frankn]

Dano, as I understand it, only shotgun permits are issued in England. Do the English Gun Restrictions apply to the entire UK? Frank

As a retired police officer it would sure be nice to be able to do that!!! Our courts are so sad,,,,I mean just look at what happened in NY Christmas Eve.....This was a CONVICTED KILLER who did 17 yrs and released..WHAT??Then an off duty Cop headed to WORK, unarmed?WHAT In 2005 HR 215 gives all police officers both active and retired the right to carry concealed anywhere in the USA or it Territorries!!! This off duty officer said to a tv interviewer "I was no different then anyone in this room, I was on my way to work and UNARMED"!!! So sad!!

We couldn't care less what England or any other country thinks about it, we haven't cared what England thought since 1776, I'm sure you remember when we declared that we no longer cared what England thought and then you guys lost the war to a rag tag army of citizens who also had the right to own personal weapons, it was those very same personal weapons owned by private citizens that defeated England.

Any country that ever thinks about invading America has to consider there are over 80 million citizens with weapons here and most of us own more that one. In fact I just bought my latest pistol (5th gun) a nice Ruger LC9 9MM with laser site....

You and England really have no dog in this fight, it concerns American citizen's rights under our Constitution, not Englands rights or your rights....

I'm in the process now of shopping for my next weapons. Adding a 12 gauge pump to the house and a nice 9 or 40 for my concealed carry.

I lucked out, I accepted a Remington 1100 12ga automatic shotgun with 3 boxes of shells and 200 rounds of 9MM ammo as partial payment on a small travel trailor I sold this past November.

 

[Red James Cash]

I have the order out for a Ruger mini 30 or a Remington model 870 12 gauge,which ever is first

Well if you want the best survival shotgun, it is the Benelli 12GA M3 Super 90. I have one. It is the only one that I know of that can shoot semi auto or pump. A quick flick of a small lever on the pump slide changes the mode. Some rounds won't eject from semi autos. Rounds like teargas, flamethrower, and some rubber bullets cause problems, so in this gun, you can just pump them out. I got mine with the black synthetic stock and forearm but I did not get the optional pistol grip extension stock for obvious reasons. I got the optional tube extension that holds 7 rounds. with one in the chamber that makes 8 round capacity. I keep it with the tube loaded and chamber empty. I load it to fire alternating 00 buck and slug.
It comes with sling points in stock and ahead of pump. The stock sights are , rear- a windage adjustable fast peep site, and front- an elevation adjustable white dot in a V. It shoots dead on. I have cut limbs from trees with slugs. It takes 3" or 23/4" shells.
The best part is I traded a cache of gold jewelry for it in a hock shop. It was new and had a price of over $1K on it. I have had many shotguns, but this is the best. It replaced my Mossburg Mariner that I lost in a fire. It never jams. Frank
