calfoxwc Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 this is so sick and tragic. The scary part is, about 15 years ago, our big group of family was going to go on another group vacation - S. Padre Island was on the list of places to stop. Except I researched, and as soon as I explained why we should change to another vacation, it was quickly decided to cancel that idea and those plans.

calfoxwc Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 Sad - concealed carry is a sign of crime times. It's made far, far worse with illegal immigration and drug cartels traveling back and forth across the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's made far, far worse with illegal immigration and drug cartels traveling back and forth across the border. Here is the saddest irony of all in this whole murderous affair. This guy was retired Navy and they were on a budget on their cross country tour taking a few odd jobs along the way to supplement their income like the old TV show Route 66. They decided to take advantage of the free beach access point near Bob Hall Pier outside of Padre Island National Seashore further down the paved road which has a gated and manned checkpoint like all National Parks, that illegals would never have tried to get past. Unfortunately there is a $20 fee per vehicle for a 7 day stay so they would have been charged $40 for a safer place rather than the just as isolated and similar free area on the beach that they could afford. In fact when I camped out there about 7-8 years ago I asked at the gate if they ever had any major crime reported there and the answer was a definitive "No." Very sad indeed. A $40 fee cost them their lives. It should have been free for retired military. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
