I made a batch Sunday with chopped leftover turkey in a little mayonnaise, sauteed onions, slices of boiled egg and a pickled jalapeno. They went like hotcakes and there are none left. If you want to have any left for lunch, you should go for “concealed carry.”

It is time to grab those empanadas. Confiscate and then ruthlessly destroy all empanadas.

I lived in NM for 14 years and traveled to Deming every weeek. Nice quiet town, good people. Too near Mexican border.

I love empanadas. Hope foiling the robbery did not mess up the food.

Sgt.:
Now, self-defence. Tonight I shall be carrying on from where we got to last week when I was showing you how to defend yourselves against anyone who attacks you with armed with a piece of fresh fruit.

(Grumbles from all)

Palin:
Oh, you promised you wouldn’t do fruit this week.

Sgt.:
What do you mean?

Jones:
We’ve done fruit the last nine weeks.

Sgt.:
What’s wrong with fruit? You think you know it all, eh?

Palin:
Can’t we do something else?

Idle (Welsh):
Like someone who attacks you with a pointed stick?

Sgt.:
Pointed stick? Oh, oh, oh. We want to learn how to defend ourselves against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you eh? Well I’ll tell you something my lad. When you’re walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after you with a bunch of loganberries, don’t come crying to me! Now, the passion fruit. When your assailant lunges at you with a passion fruit...

All:
We done the passion fruit.

Sgt.:
What?

Chapman:
We done the passion fruit.

Palin:
We done oranges, apples, grapefruit...

Jones:
Whole and segments.

Palin:
Pomegranates, greengages...

Chapman:
Grapes, passion fruit...

Palin:
Lemons...

Jones:
Plums...

Chapman:
Mangoes in syrup...

Sgt.:
How about cherries?

All:
We did them.

Sgt.: Red and black?

All:
Yes!

Sgt.:
All right, bananas.

(All sigh.)

Sgt.:
We haven’t done them, have we? Right. Bananas. How to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. Now you, come at me with this banana. Catch! Now, it’s quite simple to defend yourself against a man armed with a banana. First of all you force him to drop the banana; then, second, you eat the banana, thus disarming him. You have now rendered him ‘elpless.

Palin:
Suppose he’s got a bunch.

Sgt.:
Shut up.

Packaged is considered to be cased. So it's all good. It's not like she brandished them...

Yes, you can open-carry ANYTHING in NM... you just can’t conceal-carry w/o a permit.

Art II, Sec. 6. [Right to bear arms.]
No law shall abridge the right of the citizen
to keep and bear arms for security and
defense, for lawful hunting and recreational
use and for other lawful purposes, but nothing
herein shall be held to permit the carrying
of concealed weapons. No municipality
or county shall regulate, in any way, an incident
of the right to keep and bear arms.

When empanadas are outlawed, only outlaws will have delicious Mexican treats!

Brandishing empanadas, or any concealed meatpon, can only make trouble for you. If you are going to pull out a package of empanadas, you better be ready to use them on your adversary, defend yourself, whack them silly with the empanada. If that does not do the trick, whack them again with a pot of posole.

Afterward you can eat the weapons to avoid any evidence for prosecution if your actions were in any way suspect. In Texas, the Castle Doctrine says you do not have to flee your adversary, and can defend yourself, with whatever weapon is available, BBQ ribs, a rubber chicken, basting brush, whatever.

Good grief man, are you wanting to level the whole block?

Maybe it shouldn’t be. They can be very dangerous.
