At this point, if you living in Texas, there's no point in inserting yourself in any kind of hostile/confrontational situation unless you have the means to exercise lethal force. Period. That's where things are right now, it's crazy.
I remember a story of a dad coming to pick up his son from his ex's house and her new husband ended up shooting him on camera. No charges were filed against him at all.
Live in Texas and I keep my mouth shut.
I'm probably the only person in my fam besides my mom that doesn't carry. Brothers, uncles and cousins BEEN trying to slide me some weapons but I feel like guns tend to make you insert yourself into bullshyt.
Makes sense to be armed if you live way out in the country, just off the random wildlife we have (coyotes, javelinas, cougars etc)...but you don't really need shyt for Dallas, Houston, Austin...unless you flash wealth but live in a rough hood.
