They are straight up and down. No slant to them. <br /><br />When on water, your opponent is going to be in another boat most likely, and will be shooting at the same height you are. So the enemy's rounds will be striking that plate head on. It will not be deflected. <br /><br />Unless that plate is made out of something really high quality, that road is going right through. If the plate had an angle on it, it would give a much better chance for the road to deflect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-52534066625370207262011-12-16T17:34:14.379-06:002011-12-16T17:34:14.379-06:00Hey we're gonna need something to protect our ...Hey we're gonna need something to protect our waterways once we finally secede, after getting fed up with everything else (like some of us ain't already).

That is the perfectly legal and natural answer.<br /><br />I'll betcha a whole dollar right now, the DPS would spend more time harassing Texas citizens, telling them "You don't need to...", than interdicting Meskin gangs and illegal border runners.<br /><br />Hell, Texas citizens going around acting like self-determined free men?

Several people have been robbed and assaulted while fishing out there. Most people don't fish armed (fresh water fish so seldom attack fishermen) so they are sitting ducks for banditos from Mexico. <br /><br />The main problem I see is the standard problem with relying on police to protect you and yours. When seconds count the police are just minutes away. Somehow I don't expect the pirates will sit idly by playing pinochle while you hollar for the cops and they come a runnin'. I'm not a fisherman but if I were and I wanted to fish falcon lake, I'd probably take both my Glock 22 and my FNAR semi-auto .308 win.Bad Cyborgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-27864334658083727292011-12-16T07:36:12.089-06:002011-12-16T07:36:12.089-06:00Uh, oh.
