Tried to steal truck and quads
#23
Well I feel better now. Was at my brother in laws for new years and it's out in the country. At midnight everyone around him was shooting their guns. I went to my truck, got out the .45 and unloaded on an unsuspecting tree. The next day we looked at the tree and had someone stand by it. It would have been 5 in the chest, 1 in the head. 1 in the new gate he just put up. Oops!

Just saw this, thought it might apply. It looks like you don't have a right to a gun anyway, excerpt taken from:

Here's the background, briefly: California's legislatively-crafted "assault weapon" ban was stronger than the national ban. Both bans essentially outlaw any rifle that looks like it means business, regardless of capability -- I kid you not, cosmetics really is the upshot of these bans.
Silveira sued in a losing attempt to overturn the more-stringent California ban. Silveira unsuccessfully appealed up through the legal system to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. Next stop: US Supreme Court, which now has "denied cert," which means it allows the ruling below to stand.
Here's the real kicker, though. Silveira doesn't just nationalize the California definition of assault weapon. In Silveira, the 9th Circuit Court made the following pronouncement: there is no individual right to bear arms contained within the Second Amendment to the US Constitution.
That means that no American citizen, since December 1, 2003, has a fundamental right to possess a firearm.
"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government..." Sound familiar? It should. It is from the second paragraph of the American Declaration of Independence.

Someone went into my truck over the holidays and took mine and my wife's helmets!! Ba$tards!! My fault ultimately for not locking the truck, but they were fine there all week. Same sort of scenario .. money, CD's, good stereo system, etc. but all they took was the helmets. Now I'll be looking fondly at the Warrior in the shed until I can scratch up some doh for a new helmet.
Why can't people buy stuff instead of stealing what someone else worked hard for?? I can't afford to replace my helmet right now, so I'll do without rather than scope out someone elses gear and nab it when they're not looking. times like this I wish I'd had head lice or some other contagious skin anomally for them to catch!!!

Texas law is a little fuzzy. When I confronted them, they ran (smart move) to the street. Now they are no longer on my property and are no longer posing a danger to me (they were unarmed). If I shoot them, I still have to go before a grand jury. Now I could get a no bill (justifiable circumstances) but I am still open for any civil law suits from the theives. It sucks because I would have liked to shoot them, but the total cost to fix the truck was 1100.00 and I lost about 400.00 worth of gear. Then they get a lawyer and sue you for a million. It sounds brutal, but you are better off shooting to kill when you open fire.
