A 60-year-old Texas woman wasn’t taking any chances Monday morning when she heard two intruders enter her home, grabbing her pistol and shooting one of the would-be thieves dead, police said.
The woman, who was not immediately identified, confronted the two armed men after they entered her Harris County home through an open garage door around 11:30 a.m., WTSP reported.
Cathy Hanks, a neighbor, said it’s not surprising the woman fired her pistol when she saw a threat in her home, explaining: “That’s really how we are. That’s just Texas.”

I live in Texas and I assure you there isn’t a house in my neighborhood that does not have a loaded gun in proper position. Don’t mess with Texans.

Police are still looking for the second intruder, described as a man in his 20s who was wearing dark clothing with red underwear peeking out of his pants.
"Hey, you! That's right, you with the red underwear. Let's see your id."

“...it’s not surprising the woman fired her pistol when she saw a threat in her home...”
Only a complete idiot would be surprised that someone defended his/her own life.
But then... we had eight years of The OBunghole Criminal Conspiracy because of idiots, so... never mind.

I do love my home state!
We DEFINITELY believe in personal protection! Although it has taken a LONG time for us to rid ourselves of many of the post Civil War rules that were thrust upon us (like the war itself), but we are getting there!
God bless Texas!

The more than sneaky suspicion you’ll get shot: it’s part of why riots don’t tend to happen here.

With a BIG lumpy brown spot in the back I was thinking of a yellow spot in the front, but...maybe both!
