If your only option is a pistol, you are limited.

While we do have options, we do NOT have the option of any sort of object that can be considered a club. That is against Texas Penal Code. Thus law enforcement has more options than the average citizen is allowed to have at their disposal.

Yep, I have lost all "faith" in the system.

While I understand the intent of this posting, its stuff like this that has me wishing I were a "mountain man" instead of an aircraft mechanic. That way I could simply go far away from any general interaction with other human beings and not have to worry about stuff like this. This world is absolutely insane. Human beings were NOT meant to live like this, worrying that the tiniest little wrong thing you did to save your life in the face of unprovoked and potentially deadly aggression could get you put into a cage with other human beings who ACTIVELY SOUGHT TO INITIATE VIOLENCE against others for their own pleasure or profit. And we shouldn't have to worry that our own "justice system" is possibly more dangerous to us than the criminal elements. I think the Founding Fathers would be most distressed indeed if they could see how things have turned out, for I refuse to believe that they meant for it to be this way.
