The capital murderers convicted in Texas, and many other criminals, do not cease to be a threat to society, the other prisoners, or the prison guards just because they are in a cell.

The largest responsibility of a society and governments is to protect the citizens.

There is only one way to guarantee the murderers kill no more. That is the execution chamber in Huntsville.

It is being readied as I write this for the first one this year after the latest round of useless irrelevant appeals. They knew the rules when they did the crime. Their families will finally see justice for their loved ones.

The weather is hot, but quite bearable by the pool. The new ozone and salt chlorine generator are an upgrade we should have done sooner. Nice.

Many years ago, pre-CHL in Texas, back when a lot of folks packed illegally because we always had the likes of Ma Richards in the goobernatorial office, Mrs. Anygun objected to my bringing heat when we traveled or our route took us into questionable areas.

Reasoning was not successful so I packed anyway. We did discuss it often, and I focused on our responsibility to protect our boys and each other as best we could.

The turning point was when I actually pulled the Springfield to ward off a crazy man when we were stuck in traffic.

Since that day she has never again questioned anything regarding firearms, and was the one most adamant about her CHL when we returnd to Texas from Kalifornia.

It truly is a shame what must happen sometimes to convince someone that their beliefs are wrong.

Wouldn't want her raising my children. There are enough XY chromosomed humanoids who have lost their man card for women like that in the world. Sounds like a good excuse to move on.
