It's  a-comin'

Yup,  Sho'Nuff, It'S Comin'!!!

Three  strangers strike up a conversation in the  airport passenger lounge  in  El  Paso,Texas,  while awaiting their respective flights.  

One is an American Indian  from  Lame Deer,  Montana; another is a Texas cowboy on his way to Dallas for a   livestock show; and the third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab  student,  newly  arrived in the U.S. from the Middle East.

Their  discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Westerners  learn that the Arab is   a devout, radical  Muslim and the conversation falls  into an uneasy  lull. The  cowboy leans back in his
chair, crosses his boots  on a magazine table, and  tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his  face.

The  wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is  flapping; but still no plane comes.

Finally,  the American Indian clears his throat and softly  he speaks, 'At  one time  here, my people were many, but sadly, now
we are  few.'

The  Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward. 'Once my people were   few,'he sneers,'   and now we are many. Why do you
suppose that  is?'

The  cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth and from the  darkness  beneath his Stetson says in a smooth drawl: 'That's 'cause we ain't   played Cowboys and Muslims yet, but I do believe it's  a-comin'

DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS!

Senate Bill 378/Castle Law

Mar. 27, 2007
Gov. Perry Signs Law Allowing Texans to Protect Themselves

SB 378 Permits Texans to Use Deadly Force in Self Defense

AUSTIN - Gov. Rick Perry today signed into law Senate Bill 378, extending Texans’ rights to use deadly force for means of self-defense, without retreat, in their home, vehicle or workplace. The law takes effect Sept. 1, 2007.

"The right to defend oneself from an imminent act of harm should not only be clearly defined in Texas law, but is intuitive to human nature," said Gov. Perry. "Today, I am proud to sign the Castle Law which allows Texans to not only protect themselves from criminals, but to receive the protection of state law when circumstances dictate that they use deadly force."

"I thank Senator Jeff Wentworth, Representative Joe Driver and the Texas Legislature for their dedication to ensuring Texans’ rights to self-defense."

In 1995, the Texas Legislature created an exception to a 1973 statute, which required a person to retreat in the face of a criminal attack. The exception allowed a person to use force without retreat when an intruder unlawfully entered their home. Senate Bill 378 extends a person’s right to stand their ground beyond the home to vehicles and workplaces, allowing the reasonable use of deadly force when an intruder is:

   * Committing certain violent crimes, such as murder or sexual assault, or is attempting to commit such crimes;
   * Unlawfully trying to enter a protected place; or
   * Unlawfully trying to remove a person from a protected place.

The law also provides civil immunity for a person who lawfully uses deadly force in the above circumstances. The use of deadly force is not lawful when it is used to provoke or if a crime other than a Class C misdemeanor is committed by the victim.
