| | | 2Xplorations, although we're going off topic a bit I appreciate your writeup. It's interesting how two continents can differ so much on the gun thing. If OP thinks we should stop this discussion, let us know. Posted by 2Xplorations perfect utopian countries like the Nederland | It isn't by far, we have lots of crime especially since a lot of non-natives live here, just very rarely guns come into play. I still believe that giving anyone (meaning also the criminals) easy access to guns brings much more death and paranoia. At the same time USA probably can't ever go gun-free anymore because there are so many guns around. Posted by 2Xplorations 90% percent of the time when you find some punks slinking around on your rural property they probably aren't there just asking directions on where to ride their, bicycle. | I agree that nosing around on rural property is suspicious, but when I walk up to a person on his property to ask something I don't expect him to point a gun at my head first. It's basic human trust. I guess there must be a lot of crime happening to you before you become paranoid like that. Posted by 2Xplorations We have vandals out here, pyro-maniacs, cattle rustlers and just run-of-mill thieves supporting their methamphetamine lifestyles too. Many of our big wildfires last few years were started by sick little mofos that thought it would be cool to see what a 1000 acre range fire looks like. My neighbor lost 10 head of cattle last year when rustlers got scared off and bailed after they already had the cattle penned up ready to load. No water = no cows when its 105F. @ $900 a head that's worth worrying about trespassers over and Im pretty sure gunz didn't cause it. | What happened to the good old pitchfork to hunt rustlers with ;) Joking aside, you carry guns and all that shit apparently still happens. A gunslinger fighting a gunslinger means the one who shoots first probably wins, either the rightful owner or the thief. 50/50, it seems pointless to me. Posted by 2Xplorations Most counties and the TXDPS have special agents assigned to deal with livestock theft, its probably a bigger crime here than , bicycle thefts. I am really really careful where I poke around out here unlike the city I came from where anything open was fair game. | I can see how this is a big issue, it's crazy when you think about it. Here ironically bike theft has been a huge thing probably since those things were invented. The gov't triest to fight it by setting up bait bikes and waiting for someone to grab it but it doesn't really stop people. Would giving everyone a gun solve it? Nah. It would be exactly the same, just with more deaths. Posted by 2Xplorations Its a personal choice I reckon, if youre Ok with allowing people accessing your land for whatever purpose then who am I to question that? Maybe if they try to steal $9000 (or __ Euros?) worth of your bicycles, you could chase them down with a broom or throw rocks at them. | I'd probably first make sure my bikes are locked up good. Then if I do see thieves, call the police and probably try to scare the fuckers off with my broom and some rocks. When the thieves don't have guns either, and they usually don't have one, no one has to die. $9000 worth of bikes is still not worth risking my life for. Posted by 2Xplorations (dont the bicycles belong to the government over there?) |
No.

I actually know someone who got caught stealing beef.., out of a fucking grocery store. He still fell under this rather unique Texas law and did time for it! I don't know if most US states have similar laws or not, but I'm a Texan and know what 2X is talking about (as well as know better than to go rural exploring without some extreme caution). Hell, I live in the city, and keep my 9mm Beretta within reach at night. The funniest part about the guy I mentioned above, is that he also made it onto "World's Dumbest Criminals," for taking the cops on a chase.., in their own car! They used the dash cam footage from the other deputy's car to film the chase. Haha, he's an idiot (I have some other tragically ironic stories about him and the law for another day), but it makes for great story telling. 2X, I knew you were in Texas, but I did not take you for a country boy! How enlightening!
