"He carried it as if it was a gun and pointed it at the clerk and the customer," San Antonio police Det. Roberto Bernal told the newspaper.

What the would-be crook didn't know, however, was that the customer was a "licensed gun owner," and was armed with an actual gun.

5. Those Texans have one thing right.

"The customer will not face any charges for the shooting, which according to Texas law, was justified.

"You can use deadly force to protect property and prevent the other’s imminent commission of robbery," he said. "So he’s covered.""

Defense of property, even something as simple as a tin of fake weed, is quite legal in Texas. It should be everywhere.
