I agree with Crossfire. Perhaps the young lady did exhibit poor judgement, but that certainly doesn't excuse boorish or criminal behavior from the feller. I don't care if a woman lets a guy buy her dinner, enough drinks to float a sailor, jewelry, flowers and anything else... Even if she goes with him to a private location and they start towards the act.... If she changes her mind and says no, it's off.Crossfire wrote:Texas CHL Forum is one of the LAST places I would expect to see the "blame the victim" mentality.Beiruty wrote:What is blind date and how one ends with a female in private place, his place, her place or a hotel room?

Imagine that, "Surprise"!I am not saying what the aggressor did is acceptable or justified. My personal belief could be know if anyone Google what Muslims believe about dating and what comes with it. A wise person does not put oneself like prey in harms way.Crossfire wrote:Texas CHL Forum is one of the LAST places I would expect to see the "blame the victim" mentality.Beiruty wrote:What is blind date and how one ends with a female in private place, his place, her place or a hotel room?

).Texas Penal Code Section 46.01.07 (14) provides a definition as follows "(14) "Chemical dispensing device" means a device, other than a small chemical dispenser sold commercially for personal protection, that is designed, made, or adapted for the purpose of dispensing a substance capable of causing an adverse psychological or physiological effect on a human being."SmoothFox wrote:I carry it and use it against dogs and cats that are not leashed per city code when walking my dog (yes I pick up my dogs poo) or riding my bike.

I will continue to carry OC to heck with 'em.
Unless I'm reading this wrong, it appears that commercially available pepper spray is legal. I believe the Wylie Police Chief's interpretation of the law (arguing over the legal meaning of the term "small") focused on the wrong part of the definition. To me the key words in the definition are "sold commercially for personal protection". If the pepper spray is available for sale to the public, then either it's legal to sell to the public (and therefore legal for the public to possess) or the state is not enforcing the law on the dealers. I think it would be helpful for the legislature to clarify the word small in some manner such as "not larger than 6 oz" or something similar to avoid situations like the one this citizen found himself in.ยง 46.05. PROHIBITED WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an
offense if he intentionally or knowingly possesses, manufactures,
transports, repairs, or sells:
(1) an explosive weapon;
(2) a machine gun;
(3) a short-barrel firearm;
(4) a firearm silencer;
(5) a switchblade knife;
(6) knuckles;
(7) armor-piercing ammunition;
(8) a chemical dispensing device; or
(9) a zip gun.
That wasn't luck. That was her intuition telling her that she might need some protection on a blind date.TexasComputerDude wrote:I don't have all the facts yet but I have an interesting story.
A girl I know went on a blind date last night and was almost raped. Luckily she had just gone to walmart that day and bought a can of pepper spray.
Yes, Muslims don't date. They engage in arranged marriages. And women keep themselves covered head to toe, and are never allowed to be alone with a man, because, apparently, Muslim men have no responsibility, or ability, to control themselves in the presence of a woman.Beiruty wrote:I am not saying what the aggressor did is acceptable or justified.

Prior to marriage, I have been on plenty of dates, and I never once thought about, attempted or committed any offense towards anyone.Beiruty wrote:. A wise person does not put oneself like prey in harms way.
Yes, he's making assumptions. The OP did not say where she was. However, he did say that the young lady escaped by running down the road....pbwalker wrote:Where, in the OP, does it say anything about where this was?

That said, is it possible that manner of speaking, scent, dress, overall appearance and composure can bring about ruttish behavior in the male? The answer is, "YES", look throughout the animal kingdom.
A "blind dating site" did you say?
