When I was a kid, it was cow tipping...

But regardless... still a pretty tough community man... ouch.

Heard a few times about the 'self'defence' laws here and there (Stand your Rights?), which I'm cool with, but was convinced that the above TX law was all made up by Hollywood. Or only once existed centuries ago.

Guess some of you get to see the naïve and ignorant part of me (the little Canuck boy huh lol). I don't even recall seeing a real weapon, even less knowing how to load and shoot one of those thing

I do know all about making superb and better-than-oem headlights however. Like some already recommended... I'll just stick to that

Hey, thanks for using The Lord's name in vain!

Maybe you're still looking at it wrong. Since when are teens the only ones who burglarize people? Since when is boredom the only motive? Why stay so fixated on the punishment and ages and sweet, innocent motives and not simply agree those bored teens should not be stealing other people's hard earned private property? You do realize you can't walk out of a movie theater and shoot someone in your car, right? This is a personal property issue that applies when you're on your land. Away from home? Well. I guess you just need to learn to laugh at the antics of those crazy, bored kids who just wanted to borrow some batteries from your car...

I don't own lifeless objects. I own things I care for and care about that I bought with my sweat, and feel like it's worth protecting.

As for flipping cars? Still, a total dick move no matter how you want to rationalize it. Thugs, headed for prison hopefully. If it's OK, I would like to schedule a time to come flip your car or do the equivalent in property damage. Been pretty bored lately, and just ran out of AAA batteries. Please pre-approve this with your insurance company.
