Quote of the Day 12/15/2009

This is from a caller to the Jeff Ward radio show last week:
"You don't chase somebody down the street with an AR-15 rifle!"


I couldn't agree more. You shoot them while they run, or you go inside and call the cops to tell them what heinous thing they did to deserve to stare down the muzzle of your rifle.

Hint: a 12 year-old's "doorbell" prank is probably not going to be enough to satisfy the Austin Police Department. Bonus points for getting in trouble for having prohibited armor-piercing ammunition in your magazine when the police show up.

I wonder why the guy let the cops search his house?

More important question: What .223 ammo is prohibited in Texas? Is this just something like steel-core SS109?

State law prohibits non-Only One types from having AP ammunition. Specifically-designed-as-such AP, anyway. No worries that grampa's .30-30 is armor-piercing in lead form, because "gun control is what we do instead of something."

I'm thinking, chasing kids down the street with a battle rifle and threatening to kill them in a cul-de-sac, would probably be a good way to get yourself arrested and your house, as the scene of part of the incident, searched. Personally, I wonder why he didn't have a hide for his prohibited munitions, but it is possible (silly him) that he thought a cartridge is a cartridge and surely Mil-surp would be ok to own, if you paid for it.
