No need to stay huddled in your home. Come to Texas, after the hours of darkness you can use deadly force to prevent criminal mischief. You can use deadly force anytime and anywhere to protect yourself or another from harm and to prevent any felony if it's the only way to do it.

About five years ago I saw Texas for the first and so far only time. My sister and brother in law lived in San Antonio. My wife and children and I drove down to visit. My sister since moved to Southern California. What a place.

Besides my sister I really only wanted to see one thing, the Alamo. My kids were little and didn't understand (awful public schools with low IQ leftist teachers)(I have since counter-indoctrinated to the best of my ability). I haven't been so affected by a place since I was on Iwo Jima in 1966. There is a "Rezin P. Bowie" marked knife on display. Not at all like the modern "bowie knife". It is beautiful. I'd love to handle it, with perfectly washed fresh cotton gloves on, of course. Utterly priceless. I pressed my face up to the plastic case. Just perfect. Every dimension. There was an historic rifle there also.

Texas improved the more I saw of small town and rural life. The Ranger museum in Waco is wonderful. Maybe when I can retire I can move to a small town in Texas.

Besides Texas produced Frank Hamer, the greatest lawman who ever lived. And Texas is so remarkable that Frank Hamer was universally respected by good people and bad. Always kept his word. Never exposed his informants. Left for dead many times. Shot seventeen times as I remember. Famous for bringing in Clyde Barrow, dead of course, but he had many experiences more dangerous and difficult. A remarkable judge of character.
