I'm kidding, Robbin but it is a fun one to float since we keep hearing that Texas wants to strike out on their own.

Update...

"(Reuters) - The Florida city where neighborhood watch leader George Zimmerman shot and killed unarmed black teenager Trayvon Martin is changing the rules on how civilian patrols can operate to help prevent a recurrence and revive the program's reputation."

Makes sense to me.

Ohio is now working on a 'it's Ok to shoot people when you don't really have to' change to the self-defense law. 'Stand your ground' as it's called....

I think the law should require you to give warning by singing four bars of that Tom Petty song.

The Neighborhood Watch program for the rest of the USA has always had a no guns policy ever since it was founded.

You can legally murder but not legally vote, what a great place to be.
