Texans Are Still Armed

I'm not sure I agree with everything he did here, but my guess is that the police couldn't be bothered to do anything about a stolen vehicle. Man confronts truck thieves, killing one in self-defense shootout: Police | WWMT

His truck was stolen. The article doesn't say, but my guess is that he was tired of waiting for police, because a stolen vehicle isn't high on their list of things to do, given that every major department is understaffed to the point where they can't respond to 911 calls in a timely fashion or solve murders. I'm not sure what the status of San Antonio is.

The owner was able to find his truck in the South Park Village parking lot and saw a man and a woman sitting inside the vehicle.

He continued to approach the couple at gunpoint and demand they get out of the car, according to a report. The owner then called authorities while the male suspect sat next to the tire. That's when that suspect brandished his weapon and shot the owner.

The owner returned fire killing the guy who had his truck, and injuring the passenger.

Police Chief William McManus said he had the right to search for his truck, but advised calling the police. Yeah, I'm sure they would have been all over it.
