Great post and links.

The Texas Penal Code 42.02 defines "Riot" as an assemblage of 7 or more.
I always heard that the number was significant, because Texas Rangers carried 6 shooters. Anything over 6 people, and he would need more help.

I don't think silver bullets are as effective as those made of lead. :biggrinjester:

Unless it's "Walker, Texas Ranger", then he can handle four riots - one with each hand and foot. :lol:
