The focal point for Texas firearms information and discussions

It's surprisingly hard to nail down exactly what the speakers are saying, versus what I think I hear and what I think they mean.Senator Ellis: Chief, a couple of questions, uh, ...someone made a point earlier, that uh, in order to reduce instances of campus rape, uh, by having access to guns so women could protect themselves. In the broader public I’m just wondering what is generally the case when a gun is used to uh, for the victim to protect themselves or for the perpetrator to do harm to the victim?
Chief Acevedo: You know I would argue sir rather than uh having a person armed on campus or anywhere just …{unintelligible] a process of security. I always taught my kids and myself that good sense, good judgment, stone sober, making sure you’re aware of surroundings, that’s the key to life… … good judgment.
My concern is that if there’s firearms that are now legal and authorized on campus uh in the right situation could now turn, be turned on young women and young men, and so it just creates another set of problems. In addition to that, once that person … kind of like a burglar, … break into a home, I don’t mind calling them home burglars cause every burglar, statistics being what they are sooner or later turns into an aggravated assault or a homicide. We just had one here a month ago a double homicide on a burglary.
The same thing concerns me, that now that we’re really creating an environment where people are lawfully allowed to carry firearms on campus… and we’re, we’re gonna …we’re gonna {unintelligible} sexual assault victims, that we have a lot of resources to help these young people to survive assault, uh different sources and so forth…than to potentially murder victims … and so we are very much opposed …

I already called them. They will not do a transcript of that hearing. They will only provide an audio CD.mojo84 wrote:From the link I posted previously.

What I heard was "cause every burglary"ELB wrote:I've been trying to transcribe exactly what Acevedo said. This is what I have so far, but I can't make out a little section right in the middle of where he seemed to be saying it's better to offer rape victims "resources" afterwards than take a chance they will be killed (implying with their own gun). Apparently CHL holding young women lose the ability to make that decision for themselves once they step on campus.
But anyway, here's my transcription so far, would appreciate any corrections/additions:It's surprisingly hard to nail down exactly what the speakers are saying, versus what I think I hear and what I think they mean.Senator Ellis: Chief, a couple of questions, uh, ...someone made a point earlier, that uh, in order to reduce instances of campus rape, uh, by having access to guns so women could protect themselves.

It was a three step process. First I captured the stream in FRAPS, then used VLC media player to downscale the video segment I wanted, then posted through YouTube. It was pretty simple. Took about 5 minutes of my time, then it took YouTube about 15 minutes to upload and convert the video.mojo84 wrote:How do you capture YouTube video? I would like to get his entire testimony. There is some rich material there.
Thanks. I went back and forth on whether he said "burglar" or "burglary."jimlongley wrote:

Capturing YouTube videos is extremely easy, but capturing genuine streaming video from other sources and getting it into YouTube is much more annoying.
Thank you.v7a wrote:The full APD Chief testimony.
Yeah. I only watched the whole thing live yesterday, but I definitely remember him saying it was the uniform/badge that deters crime and not the visible gun.Ruark wrote:Notice how he appeared wearing his uniform, for added dramatic effect...
Or conceal their guns since there is no advantage to having them exposed.TVGuy wrote:Yeah.

I felt like suggesting he and his officers try doing away with the guns for a couple of weeks and see how the uniform gets the job accomplished.
Welp, if that's the case then we don't need police and we only need security guards. They have a uniform and a badge, it's all you need apparently.TVGuy wrote:Yeah.
