Only in Texas...

[Manic Depressant]

Gayle and Sheila Muhs gave trespassers a blunt warning. They posted a large sign outside their Texas home saying trespassers would be shot and survivors would be shot again.

They weren't joking.

The Muhs are currently being held on charges of aggravated assault for allegedly firing at least two shotgun blasts at a pair of packed cars that stopped outside their rural Texas house. Those charges are expected to be upgraded to murder, since a 7-year-old boy who was wounded in the assault has died from shotgun pellets to his head and face.

But police said the families in the two cars were driving on a public road when the Muhs opened fire from their house, killing Donald Coffey Jr. and hitting three others, including the boy's 5-year-old sister.

Outside the Muhs' house is a handpainted sign complete with misspelling and exclamation points that warns: "Trespassers Will Be Shot. Survivers Will Be Reshot!! Smile I Will."

Hope they enjoy smiling from the inside of a federal penitentiary for the rest of their lives.

This has potential to get locked....

I hate stupid people. I hope they are smiling when they get injected with a lethal substance.

Well they weren't on a public road and the law isn't according to what their sign says.

Near the end of the article
Texas does have a "castle" law that allows property owners to shoot if someone is trespassing on their property at night. But that law, he said, does not apply in this case.

[TitanHope]

Most of the people in the area own firearms, he said, saying that that specific neighborhood was at "lower socio-economic level."

This is the politically correct way of saying "boonies."

"Yeah, we lock our doors whenever we drive through the lower socio-economic level of the city. It's just not safe."

:D

this is just ****** up, not even funny

I love how people assume that because a few ignorant ***** like this are stupid that the rest of Texas is as well. I'm not even from here and I get sick of all the **** talk about Texas haha.

How come the castle law doesn't apply? Daylight?

[Brent]

How come the castle law doesn't apply? Daylight?
Yes. tennnnnnnnn

[iowatreat54]

How come the castle law doesn't apply? Daylight?

That would be my guess.

I don't know the law, but maybe killing an innocent 7 year old also factors in.

[nrk]

How come the castle law doesn't apply? Daylight?

I assumed it was daylight because they were headed out to do off roading with kids.

People sure do like to assume things about Texas when there are things like this everywhere. You can say bad things about CA and off of the top of my head I know they made a law where if you witness a crash and you help then you can be sued if something happens. Thats rediculous. They also made a law if someone has solar pannels up and a neighbors tree is blocking that pannel that they have to legally cut the tree down. So they try helping the environment by cutting a tree down?.... I love Texas.

I was born and raised in West Virginia... I think I win.

[CashmoneyDrew]

For the record my comment was a joke. I know that not everyone, or even half the people in Texas are like this. :p

That just means that if your parents get divorced they will be cousins again, LOL.

Those tires are inflated. I refuse to believe that man owns that car.

[terribletowel39]

Near the end of the article
In the third paragraph of the article it says the two familes were traveling on a public road....they people weren't even on their property.
