Uptight "citizen" ruins it for us Texans!

Car clubs, boat clubs and even jet ski clubs have poker runs.

Here in Colorado snowmobile clubs sponsor poker runs. You ride the trail, stop at various points where the club has a tent or canopy set up, get your hand(s) and move on...

Don't know if charitable groups have an excemption here, but Poker Runs are held almost year round for some good cause. Couple are sponsored by a HD dealership in Grand Junction (about 65 miles from me) and are well organized, well attended events. Until a year or so ago the local police donated time for traffic control amd such; that has changed and organizers how have to pay for those services, but it doesn't seem to have slowed down the runs much. The runs are always publicized on local TV; no one has complained yet.

You Texans have always beem a bit different, of course. Hope you can find a way around this complaint, as not only do Poker Runs raise money for a good cause, they are a lot of fun.

Yeah, well, so the AG made a ruling. (shrugs).

We'll just keep doing what we're doing. He can go suck a leaf.

I will send him a nasty-gram though (actually a professionally worded WTF?)

Basically, they just want their "piece of the action".

Give 'em an inch...yada yada...

That is so hard for me to comprehend. I live 5 min from Louisville KY. Here we have a horse race that is like a statewide holiday. Most kids are even out of school 2 days prior to the derby!!! Talk about your gambeling!! I just do not understand why some *******s can't just leave things alone. I wonder if they were hurt by poker runs as a child???

That is so hard for me to comprehend.

Career Government/Politicians live in there own world, generally disconnected from the real world. They receive (not earn) enough money (and excellent retirement) that day to day concerns like paying the rent or fixing the car never enters there minds.

To justify there existence they come up with all kinds of S@#$.
Doesn't effect them and if it gets good press they at least get an atAboy from there "colleges" and can "earn political capital"

In the city they now have "Building Codes" for dog houses.
Also just passed a law that can make any tree (even in your back yard) "protected" and you need to get a permit to trim/cut or remove.
