After reading some of the stupid comments I feel the need to explain our policy on firearms at our Texas agency.

1) No rifles or shot guns are allowed at an employee's desk with the exception of .410 or 20 guage revolving pistols and shotguns of any guage under 20 inches and over 18.5 inches in barrel length. Rifles and shotguns may be brought to work and placed in the gun display case during any legal hunting season the state schedules. Due to the wild hog problem and terroists hunting season the state has opened the season to 365 days. Therefore rifles and shot guns of any guage or caliber are now allowed.

2) No crappy cheap pistols will be allowed. Colt is the weapon of choice due to tradition and effectiveness in indian fighting. S&W, Ruger, and other pistols of similar quality are preferred. Nothing under 9 mm if possible.

By the way Charles Whitman was held at bay after the idiot was penned down by Texans who had high powered rifles on the rack in their pickups. The Austin police at the time were mostly carrying .38 caliber pistols which could not even reach him. Whitman had a brain tumor so please don't even think about blaming the Marines. If you thinks Texas is so bad we are glad you don't and won't live here.
