Texas Border County Teaches Residents Proper Firearm Use Due to Home Invasions

EDINBURG, Texas – Authorities in this Texas border county continue a tradition of empowering homeowners and ranchers so they can protect themselves and their property from criminals.

The staccato sound of gunfire could be heard from a distance as close to two dozen persons fired multiple shots at their targets while several Hidalgo County Sheriff’s deputies watched carefully correcting their technique and ensuring that the safety protocol was followed.

The shooters were part of a class that has been held regularly for several years where residents learn the laws regarding self- defense, receive some tactical training and learn how to be a responsible gun owner as well as to be aware of their surroundings.

“This is class developed to help our residents that own a weapon or thinking about purchasing a weapon,” said Sheriff’s spokesman JP Rodriguez. “It teaches them the fundamentals of use of force, Texas law and familiarization with firearms.”

Contrast THAT with the local Gestapo here in Salisbury, who think citizens shouldn't have guns, be able to carry them, or defend themselves.
Considering how they act around here, that's probably best....for them.
