Re: El Paso Walmart Shooting
Dear Mexican government,
I consider it an act of terrorism every time you allow your citizens or those of other countries to illegally cross into the United States. It is an act of war every time your citizens transport illegal drugs across the border.
I don't think you want to go there.

I’m not trying to suggest a connection, but this is weird.

I was in the big Walmart on 110 in Tyler today and saw NO TABC sign at the entrance.Oldgringo wrote: Sun Aug 04, 2019 11:48 amCorrect on al counts.

At least we do something about it. How many times have American been killed by drug lords, and nobody ever gets charged. We caught the guy and it's pretty certain he will be executed.LDP wrote: Mon Aug 05, 2019 2:55 pmphilip964 wrote: Mon Aug 05, 2019 2:24 pm https://news.yahoo.com/mexico-pursue-le ... 10109.html
Mexico legal action, 7 citizens murdered.A) What about act of terrorism against all customers present on location?“We consider this an act of terrorism against the Mexican American community and Mexican nationals in the United States,” Ebrard told reporters.
B) This was not an act of terrorism against Mexico, per the shooter's note, but against all Hispanics.
C) How many Mexican nationals die every day from Mexican drug wars, drug use and other Mexican violence? But nobody's causing ruckus over that.
Theatrical much?
In the end, innocent people died, for no good reason. And the perpetrator is still alive, for no good reason.
Crime happened on this soil and the actor will be judged and punished on this soil as well, by law.
We will see many try to abuse this tragedy to push their own agenda, this is just the beginning.

I was in a WalMart on the West side of El Paso this morning and noticed no signs. There was a guy roaming the parking lot and looking you over as you walked in.

Re: El Paso Walmart Shooting
What would I do? I dunno', a lot would depend on the location of the first responders, who I was with and where the shooter/s were.Oldgringo wrote: Sun Aug 04, 2019 10:48 pm Hypothetical test question: You're legally carrying, with your SO on a shopping outing, and you hear gunfire within the store, what do you THINK you would do?
1. The first responders wouldn't know me from a bad guy.
2. My first responsibility is to my family.
3. Where is/are the shooters located in relation to innocents?
I honestly don't know what I would do.
Your responses to this hypothetical question are appreciated. Goodnight, and good luck.

This is really scary and honestly it would probably determine my actions barring protecting my family or myself from the shooter.

These are the best posts of all. What has changed in America? From when one could order guns, including Machineguns from a Magazine to be delivered to your door, carry firearms to schools as a child, go hunting and shooting on one's own to now? I submit it is the lack of the JudeoChristian values that once guided America as the social norm, now all is in a flux, nothing is sure, including one's own Religion, it is all being controlled by the State and the State is forever hungry.

Then either they are not posting the legally required signs, or you missed it. TABC website says that location has a blue gun sign.

They should have the following sign posted in English and Spanish:

Re: El Paso Walmart Shooting
'Outdoor Living' entrance of the mentioned Walmart. WM doesn't use the standard TABC 'Blue' you see most places, they use a low key black & white sign.

This is the number one reason for caution and thinking as an LTC holder. I will do everything I can to save the innocent from violent psychopaths. But a good guy in Alabama was shot by LEO because they didn't know he was chasing the shooter.
Do what you say you're gonna do.
Re: El Paso Walmart Shooting
That’s definitely not the only time, and definitely not the last time that will happen. It’s a risk that we take every time we carry. Notifying the authorities of your location, physical discription, and full cooperation upon arrival can mitigate much of this risk.Lynyrd wrote: Mon Aug 05, 2019 9:04 pmTerry wrote: Mon Aug 05, 2019 5:24 pm 1.
