News broadcasters told us that several private citizens, i.e., not law enforcement officers, stopped their cars, got their hunting rifles out and provided some of the covering fire for the police.

I believe it. I was 1st in Texas in 79 and most pickups had a rifle rack w/ gun. It’s weird, I live here for a while now and never see it. Maybe thievery??
So my shotgun stayed behind my seat in my truck for over 20 years.
Then a big billboard was put up at the front gate stating no firearms.
It was probably some fool hunters leaving their rifles in their "Easy Rider Rifle Racks" that messed it up for everyone.
