As the waters in Houston and surrounding areas begin to recede in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, there's no doubt looters are getting ready to take advantage of empty homes. Some looting has already started.
But one Texas Sheriff has a stern warning for those who seek to prey on victims: You do so at the risk of your life.
"We've heard of looting around the greater Houston area, specifically Harris County. But as far as Fort Bend County, we haven't," Fort Bend County Sheriff Troy Nehls told Fox News Saturday.
"I made a comment the other day that we support the Second Amendment here in Fort Bend County and there are many of us that are armed. I would would caution those that want to come and prey on our people here in Fort Bend County that are suffering so much right now, you may want to stay out of Fort Bend County because you could leave this county in a bag," he continued.
God bless Texas.
Nehls's stance is especially refreshing considering firearms belonging to citizens were confiscated during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, leaving victims defenseless as lawlessness quickly took over the city.

I see them all the time at our small town’s foreign legion. Yes they wear their colors and yes they are good people
Six highly effective words that are rarely used anymore: “Looters will be shot on sight”
“I see them all the time at our small town’s foreign legion. Yes they wear their colors and yes they are good people”
Then go up to one and ask them if they are in a motorcycle club.
DUH ....
The natural response is to tell those who are trespassing to to leave immediately and never trespass again.
Rolling Thunder, for one.
Welcoming furriners is one thing, but their own legion?
I’ve always lived in places that had an American Legion, myself.
If, however, they are simply trespassing to trespass, or to steal, or to cause harm or otherwise impose on persons and property, the natural response is to unambiguously insist that they leave without delay and not return.
Me: Are there any MC’s that are NOT gangs?
You: Rolling Thunder, for one.
Here is there link. Notice that they do NOT call themselves a motorcycle club!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Texans don’t play nice with looters. After Houston took in a bunch of Katrina refugees, armed robbery increased but so did dead armed robbers. A lot of criminals returned to New Orleans.
My town outside Houston was evacuated during Harvey. I did not leave because we were okay. WE had National guard patrolling our neighborhood all night.
I asked God to use me to help others. I have not stopped doing laundry and washing china since. I would have never guessed this would be my job. It’s like everyone knows to bring over their china and flooded linens and clothing to us.
Apparently you're very anti-motorcycles. Take a look at this motorcycle club and tell me it's a gang! Christian Motorcyclists Association
Geezer. It’s an association. It is not a MC. Duh!
Nor does Antifa call itself a terrorist organization, but....to-MAY-to, to-MAH-to.
8^)
Geezer? Screw off jerk! Oh yeah, there’s a big difference between an association and a club! NOT.
You obviously know nothing about MC’s ....
It seems from your post you are equating motorcycle clubs to terrorist organizations ...
You’d be very surprised at just what I do know! Now, go away jerk!
You obviously don’t know what a MC is ...
Yeah ok. So tell me oh wise one....what is a motorcycle club by your definition?
