Only in Texas!
I can just imagine the scenario..."You are bringing in the herd from the North section when a band of Mescalero bandits attempt to rustle your beef. Since deadly force is still allowed against rustling, you take on the bad guys while avoiding your steers, as bullet wounds drop the price substantially! Once the banditos are neutralized, move the herd to the railhead..."
Wish I could be there. I was a Texas transplant from 1961 to 1971 (my formative years) which probably explains my lack of tolerance for low-lifes. Do they still recognize the "He needed killin'" defense in Texas courts? I was a South-Eastern Texan...just South of Houston...salt grass and gumbo clay (yecch).
