“Open carry of rifles, shotguns and other long arms is legal without a permit in Texas. Just not pistols” I stand corrected. However, very few people I know are willing to shlepp a rifle or shotgun around town.

You are more correct than you know. Open carry of long guns is not prohibited by State law, but Texas does not have preemption to prevent cities and towns from prohibiting open carry of long guns.

You do not see long guns carried openly for that reason, I believe. No one can know when they cross an invisible jurisdictional line if they have broken the law and may end up in jail.

It ammounts to a defacto ban on the open carry of long guns in most locations.

No permit required up here. We’re not allowed to have loaded rifles and shotguns in our vehicles though (road hunting). Pistols are good to go.

He won’t be. He talked to a friend of mines son who is in it, and decided it would be too much for him. My brothers were both in the Corps, and I think it’s a great program.

“I was going to say, “what’s making people go crazy?” Then I remembered—0bama’s people have got citizens so unraveled and scared of the future, they’re going crazy. IMO”

Not likely. Obama didn’t cause Charles Whitman to open fire from the top of the UT Tower, and he didn’t motivate Charles Manson, Charles Starkweather, Ted Bundy, Son of Sam, the Zodiac Killer, and on and on.

The Eagle, the student newspaper

Actually, The Eagle is the city newspaper. The student paper is called The Battalion.

A TP?

An Indian tent?

What does that mean?

The names of others involved in the shootings were not released by police. Several sources confirmed for The Eagle that the suspect’s name is Thomas Caffall and that he told a witness before he died he was sorry for shooting the officer.

BTW...his fb page is still up.

In a release by a family attorney, the mother of the alleged shooter identifies him as Tres Caffall.

The release is below.


Linda Weaver, mother of Tres Caffall, asked me (Tyler Moore, family attorney) to forward this release to you in behalf of her family relating to the terrible shooting in College Station today.

“Our family was shocked and devastated by the tragedy this afternoon. Our thoughts and prayers go to the families of the deceased and the wounded victims. We mourn them and the loss of Tres. He had been ill. It breaks our hearts his illness led to this.

“Please respect our privacy in our grief.”


The College Station police have also positively identified the alleged shooter as Caffall.

Still, this TAMU neighborhood rent arrears guy likely DID NOT have a real automatic. Semi probably, but the MSM don’t know butt from 3rd base.
