Or the law should be changed because it is quite frankly ridiculous.

Bah I'm not entirely happy with New Zealand law at all points (our abortion and gay marriage laws aren't perfect for example) but I'm sure glad we at least got our laws right as far as self defense and guns go.

Edit: @Steven. Shooting somebody because it is theoretically possible that they have a gun, despite the fact that they are indeed running in the opposite direction to you, is still murder and not self-defense.

 

Legally speaking, not in Texas.

 

As far as whether it should be legal or not, well that is up for the decision of the inhabitants of those cournties/states.

Every country has laws that can be considered ridiculous by some of it's inhabitants.

New Zealand has some issues with divorce and custody if I remember correctly, as well as some pretty strict drug imprisonments.  What about the "communization" of NZ's rails? Nobody's upset about that?

 

 



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.
