In Texas, we WILL kill you back.
When seconds count, the police are minutes away. Little doubt that two suicidal teens would have thought nothing of killing a middle age couple.
“In Texas, we WILL kill you back.”
I recently saw a bumper sticker reading; “Come back to Miami. We weren’t shooting at you.’
They weren’t suicidal, they thought they were invincible.
I think if every home owner had a neon-sign on the front and rear of the house that says everyone in this house is armed, he’s just be skipeed. This whole robbery game is about statistics. If you want to rob folks....you tend to want to survive. The minute you toss in a tough situation....they’d just like to skip that house.
So we need to find some folks who want to start a business enterprise, and just manufacture neon-signs....”Armed and Ready”. Figure forty bucks a year for electricity....but no idiot is going to come around.
However you characterize them, they obviously did not value their own lives highly.
These guys are serious Darwin award candidates. Breaking into any house in Texas is a crapshoot but these rural homeowners ALL have guns
My thinking, too. I don’t have to outrun the bear, I only have to outrun you. Those moron newspaper people in Westchester County, NY, who “outted” gun owners may have done their neighbors a disservice by implicitly identifying all the easy marks in the County.
Odd that they committed suicide.
Why? Get in the stolen truck, get the heck out of there, ditch the truck and escape. Then, the suicide pact. Killed themselves independently of one another once they'd failed to rob this particular house.
Weird. Maybe robbery wasn't what they were after?
There's a lot more going on here than is being told.
Been awhile since Texas beat Oklahoma.
Welcome to Bothced, Texas.
There's something ironic about that, but I can't quite figure it out...
When it comes to guns for personal protection, There is no rivalry between OK and TX.
I am not a sports fan.
Protection of life is not a sport.
The citizens of OK nor TX will be disarmed.

Sure would be interesting to know what kind of rifles they were.
1)Never fire a "warning shot." If you have to shoot someone, shoot to kill.
2)Homeowner was lucky he wasn't shot retrieving weapons from his home. In today's environment it is wise to have a weapon on you and/or in your vehicle.
According to some accounts the 17 year old Chaffin had a history of running away from home.
He stole medication, a truck and the firearms from his family in OK.
I suspect drugs were involved and that was the motive for the break-in.
It is unclear why the other young man was involved and killed himself.
My neighborhood has about 40 homes on rural lots. About a fourth of the homes have yard signs that say, “We don’t call 911 - Neighborhood Gun Club”.
That’s the mindset of rural Texas.
