Following the recent shooting of two children outside their school on the outskirts of Edinburg, TX, Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino is pushing for a new state law to make it illegal to discharge a firearm within 3 miles of a school.http://www.krgv.com/news/hidalgo-county-sheriff-pushing-to-change-state-gun-laws-after-school-shootingThis sure makes Sheriff Trevino sound like an Only One.Original story here:Nevermind that this school only opened *5 months ago* and the surrounding land was well know to be used for hunting/shooting grounds.Nevermind that the surrounding property is private property.Nevermind that the people in question
Nevermind that this school only opened *5 months ago* and the surrounding land was well know to be used for hunting/shooting grounds.
Nevermind that the surrounding property is private property.
Nevermind that the people in question were apparently acting irresponsibly.
Nevermind that the investigation is still ongoing.
What does this mean for gunowners in Hidalgo County and the rest of Texas? How many locations can you drive to that are NOT within 3 miles of a school?
Perhaps the question that should be asked is: Why are schools being built adjacent to *known* hunting/shooting grounds? This is not a singular instance in Hidalgo County.
Here is the Google Maps link to the property. Note all the undeveloped land around it.
