Gotta Love Those Texans !

Gotta  Love Those Texans !

 

From a guy in Austin, Texas:

My neighbor is a "lefty" of sorts (Obama bumper

stickers, gung-ho socialized medicine, "guns should

be banned", etc.). So this past spring I put this sign

up in my yard after one of his anti-gun rants at a

neighborhood cocktail party.

The sign wasn't up more than an hour before he

called the police and wanted them to make me take

down the sign. Fortunately, the officer politely

informed him that it was not their job to take such

action without a court order and that he had to file a

complaint "downtown" first, which would be reviewed

by the city attorney to see if it violated any city,

county, or state ordinances, which if there was a

violation a court order would be sent to the offending

party (me) to "remove the sign in seven days."

After several weeks he was informed that the sign

was legal and there was nothing the city could do,

which obviously made him madder.

I tried to smooth things over by inviting him to go

shooting with me and my friends at the hunt club

but that seemed to make him even more angry.

I am at a loss how to reconcile our long relationship

(notice I did not say friendship), any suggestions

would be welcome.
