Last week, a kid up in Burnett County, NW of Austin got together at his dad’s house with a couple of buddies (the dad is a Constable) and dropped acid. Things got a little sideways and the son went out to his dad’s car, opened the trunk, pulled out his dad’s AR, loaded it up up, and shot his two friends because they were “acting weird”.

No shit, Sherlock. You were peaking. Everything is weird.

Question:

Why does a Constable in a rural county in Texas who may see a SWAT situation once in his career have an AR in the trunk of his car? Shouldn’t battle rifles be kept at the Cop Shop in the armory until needed?

Discuss!
