LiquorGuns-001-Small.jpg

June 2005 near Uvalde in South Texas.

Liquor AND Guns?

Not certain whether they sell more guns or liquor at 10am. Couldn't fit them all in the same shot, but the county jail/courthouse was just across the street and a 24 hour bail bond stop was next door.

So it is quite concievable that one could:

1) Be released from jail just after breakfast.
2) Purchase a new gun and get boozed up once the quickie mart opens at 10am.
3) After drinking all day, try to rob the same quickie mart later that evening.
4) End up back in your same jail cell by 10pm the same night

All without traveling more than 150 yards.

Welcome to South Texas.
