It's almost Chabbat here and I'm gonna try not to post here and be a good boy, but just lemme say that I love Texas, and can't wait to move there! Sure, the death penalty sucks but I need to look beyond that, and I can't wait to get there and maybe go shootin' with some of y'all.
Then head to your forty-ninth state with a friend o' mine, and my Ruger Alaskan on my hip, and .... hey ...
*thread warp*
What shall I call my Kimber? I need a name for it. It has to be a woman's name, 'cos I love women so much (a little too much..). Any suggestions?

the death penalty is for people exclusively just like the one's the OP ran into. some people didn't want to learn how to integrate into society, didn't want to not be scum, so off they go.
