Austin Police just arrested a man suspected of about 50 burglaries in the Austin area.

“Mr. Hill is actually not a violent person at all,” Det. Jarrett Crippen said. “He was very specific that he does not like breaking into people’s homes [he targeted small businesses]. He realizes this is Texas and any number of Texans have guns in their homes, and he didn’t want any part of that.”
Folks, you don’t have to fire a gun for it to be effective at deterring crime.

I heard there’s a coffee shop here in Austin with a sign by the cash register that reads: “Staff does not have access to the safe. Staff does have access to the Remington 870.” I haven’t verified this as I don’t drink coffee so I’ve little reason to go there, but either way it’s a great sign. 🙂
