    This could be really bad. When I left Texas, it was legal for people to assume that any tow truck driver was really stealing their car illegally and take a shot at them.

      Anyone know if Argabarga's OK? I can't remember where he's located.

            Just about the center of the state.

                Well, according to the article, it was the driver who shot the man who was stealing his tow truck.

                  Yes, but I can only imagine the backlash against the tow truck driver or others in the industry... The idjit was just scared the tow truck driver was going to steal his car, so he preemptively was protecting his property.

                  Now the tow driver is being investigated for murder, and idjits can declare open season against tow truck drivers.

                    This is why I don't (and wouldn't even if it wasn't against company policy) carry a weapon on the job, too much of an invitation for someone, anyone, to be killed, over a parking spot.... .which is pretty high up there on the list of "Dumb ways to waste human life"

                    Not to mention the ancillary effects of bad press, bad blood between people who otherwise didn't even know the other existed and the years of follow-up litigation, civil and/or criminal, before the whole mess is ever resolved.

                    Besides, I've found professionalism, courtesy, and the threat and occasional use of actual trained law enforcement will defuse just about any potentially bad situation long before anyone needs to start shooting.
