How often to you hear about something like that happen on the news anyway? I never have. I wouldn't ever worry about someone who's licensed and packing. I have a friend who did that here and he said it made him feel more ''at ease.'' Pretty rare anyone would ever have to discharge. Now he's in LA where only the real criminals are packing, because the law abiding cannot.

Maybe because there are mainly kids with dark hair there? White kids have dark hair too sometimes. And what do you mean by beating children? Spanking? or fights? Because to me, spanking isn't beating. And spanking is legal in Texas. I'm sure if you post this in the immigration forum you'll get more replies. Why do you keep stressing about kids getting beaten because they are hispanic? Sounds like you're race baiting.

As I tend to be wordy in replies, I guess a whaaat would have been just enough for me to add in that last post

I thought the stereotype was they beat their children with dark skin.
