I would like to say "you hit the nail on the head" , but really, you hammered in enough nails to build a whole house.

Our gun laws are the same as Texas 'cept for the conceal carry! No S**T! Wow.

Well, there are some places that do not allow you to have a gun at all....
Hawaii is a may issue state where Texas is a shall issue state..
Last I read Hawaii has issued "1" conceal carry permit.
37 states are shall issue states
9 States where the right to carry is limited by local discretion or otherwise restricted(Hawaii being one of them)
4 States that do not recognize the right to carry

"Hopefully you would take some action to protect your neighbors property or family."
Of course I would. It's the shooting part that I don't agree with.
I've noticed a mission creep with these guns. First is was to protect one's life and family.
Then it was to protect one's material goods, then it was to safeguard your neighbor's stereo.
We're talking about killing people to protect stuff. There is no death penalty for larceny.
What next? Shoot people who drive too fast in your neighbourhood?
If you have a big shiny hammer, then pretty soon every problem starts to look like a nail.
Big Island,
Very well stated. I read it twice

Can we change the name of this thread. It has long since lost any relevance to HPP. And most of the posters dont even live here.

Always gets down to the name, and where you are from.
I thought HPP was close enough that I would be included...
