>All kidding aside -- there's still a law on the books in Texas that allows open carrying of a loaded HANDGUN in your vehicle if you are "traveling and located more than two counties away from your home county". You can also legally carry loaded rifles on an internal rack inside a pickup truck if you live in a county with less than a certain population and you own property of a certain minimum acreage.

>There was a celebrated case a few years ago where a repo man was shot in Austin -- and they couldn't prosecute the homeowner because he didn't break any laws. The repo man's family tried everything, even an appeal to then-Governor Bush -- nothing could be done because the homeowner was within his rights to kill the guy. Scary...

Laws can be very interesting. Too bad we cannot apply the type of action that you cited about the repo man against telemarketers and spammers!

By the way I find the California drivers I dislike the most are the ones born and raised in New York! Talk about attitude! :)
