4. But the medical community IS REQUIRED TO REPORT THEM
Tex. Health & Safety Code § 161.041. Mandatory Reporting of Gunshot Wounds

A physician who attends or treats, or who is requested to attend or treat, a bullet or gunshot wound, or the administrator, superintendent, or other person in charge of a hospital, sanitorium, or other institution in which a bullet or gunshot wound is attended or treated or in which the attention or treatment is requested, shall report the case at once to the law enforcement authority of the municipality or county in which the physician practices or in which the institution is located.

7. But that assumes Bush/Cheney and Co. respect the law.
And we all know that assuming makes an ASS of U and ME.

5. Maybe it's time they changed the law in Texas.....
any shooting should be investigated, accidental or otherwise.

6. Yes.
It's safe to say that a whole lot of the laws need to be changed in Tejas.

11. Only the "common" folk are required to obey laws.
Those who make the laws, or enforce them, are granted immunity.

12. It Happens At The Hospital
A guy comes into the emergency room with a gunshot and they automatically have the police take a quick look. Every notice that there is almost always a cop or two in every emergency room? Well, one of them will do it. He or she will ask a couple of questions, the answers will come up either an accident or something that requires further investigation. The officer will make the call right there and then. If it comes up accident its no longer a police matter.

Ask me how I know and I'll show you the scar.
