Citizens of Texas should post on their Property line: Danger, Private Property, Enter at your own risk; ALL Local, County, State and Federal LAWS are suspended upon crossing this property line. Violators risk branding on the forehead the words thief, or being shot.

How much easier and safer would have been this takedown of a punk in New York City if the clerk had been equipped with a hand gun rather than just a vodka bottle?  How much less of a burden to the taxpayer too, who will now have to incarcerate the criminal?

And just think of chilling effect it would have on criminals if shootings of miscreants during crimes like this were on the nightly...
