    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    If you know to keep open gates open, and closed gates closed.

    If you know what a cattle guard is.

    If your backup is at least a half-hour away at warp speed, and they are still in the same county.

    If your backup is frequently a game warden. Or a reserve deputy who monitors the CB.

    If you listened to the guy in the trailer park describe what the tornado sounded like. On three different tornadoes.

    The rookie said "there sure are a lot of cord roads here".

    What?

    The rookie says "all the street signs say cord road".

    Them street signs don't say "cord" road that's short for "county road".


    If ya go to the judges home to get a warrant signed and the judges wife offers to get ya a piece of pie or fix breakfast, ya know dependin on the time of day.

    Recent directions I got from my guys....

    "Just past the cemetery and across from the first cattle guard"

    Or....."just past where you hit the deer".

    ...I have a court gun...

    I like the way that type of police work sounds, though I don't think my kind of LE is much welcome down in TX...

    If your interview for the job involved the question: "Can you take a whuppin'?"
    Apparently this is hand-to-God truth.

    Good thread. I grew up in rural west Texas. This thread is spot on.

    I really dig the concept of court guns. We've had at least one prosecutor ask detectives to wear shoulder holsters for a jury trial because it makes you look more detective-y to the "educated by TV shows" masses.

    I think the concept of the "court gun" is fantastic.

    I've also been mesmerized by the "uniform" of the TX rangers. It's very distinctive, and I've heard they're big customers of Bill Wilson's.
