“There was some talk on the local Austin station....about military personnel asking residents if they own guns.”
Meaning armed soldiers knocking on doors & demanding “Are there any guns in this house?”
That’s scary blue helmet army of occupation stuff! This needs to be substantiated. Sounds like the hurricane Katrina aftermath.
I don’t think it is intended to be that overt. Here is a podcast from our local station where I heard what I posted. If you move the slider to 18:00 or so you’ll hear the part about them asking civilians questions. Just prior to that is an interview with Judge Paul Pape of Bastrop County.
I have not done any other research to substantiate, as you say, the part about what kind of questions will be asked. The officials seem to be in fear calming mode, so I don’t know how much actual information we’ll get from them. We certainly are entitled to know. I am wary, but not alarmed at this point. Just watching.

That sounds fabricated.
