I'm sure some of you have seen this but it makes me smile. CALIFORNIA • The Governor of California is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks the Governor's dog, then bites the Governor. • The Governor starts to intervene, but reflects upon the movie "Bambi" and then realizes he should stop because the coyote is only doing what is natural. • He calls animal control. Animal Control captures the coyote and bills the state $200 testing it for diseases and $500 for relocating it. • He calls a veterinarian. The vet collects the dead dog and bills the State $200 testing it for diseases. • The Governor goes to hospital and spends $3,500 getting checked for diseases from the coyote and on getting his bite wound bandaged. • The running trail gets shut down for 6 months while Fish & Game conducts a $100,000 survey to make sure the area is now free of dangerous animals. • The Governor spends $50,000 in state funds implementing a "coyote awareness program" for residents of the area. • The State Legislature spends $2 million to study how to better treat rabies and how to permanently eradicate the disease throughout the world. • The Governor's security agent is fired for not stopping the attack. The state spends $150,000 to hire and train a new agent with additional special training for the nature of coyotes. • PETA protests the coyote's relocation and files a $5 million suit against the state. TEXAS • The Governor of Texas is jogging with his dog along a nature trail. A coyote jumps out and attacks his dog. • The Governor shoots the coyote with his state-issued pistol and keeps jogging. The Governor has spent $.50 on a .45 ACP hollow point cartridge. • The buzzards eat the dead coyote. And that, my friends, is why California is broke and Texas is not. _____________________ Be careful what you tolerate. You are teaching people how to treat you. | ||

But does that still hold for the Austin area? --------------------- LGBFJB "Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on, or by imbeciles who really mean it." — Mark Twain “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.” — H.

I think this happened to Gov. Perry but he used a .380 but I could be wrong.  | |||

Stolen, with thanks. I'll give credit, honestly. | |||

In the actual event, it was cheaper than than - the Governor paid for his own pistol, ammunition, carry gear and concealed carry permit. | |||

It would be funnier if it wasn’t so close to the truth. They excluded the part where the fired bodyguards sue for wrongful termination, awarded a full pension tax free, and hired by another LEO agency. P229 | |||

That's a funny joke, but sadly Texas isn't the right state. It's getting more and more purple from my view on the outside. I hope I'm wrong and it remains a beacon of freedom! | |||

I was about to go there. And wasn't it a .380 (an LCP IIRC)?
As Cali and the NE states disgorge their excess population, they're turning most of the red states purple.
