No Place But Texas II

A little while back I posted something about how special a place Texas is. Here's a follow-up.
A young Texan grew up wanting to be a lawman.

He grew up big: 6' 2'', strong as a longhorn, fast as a mustang. He could shoot a bottle cap tossed in the air at 40 paces. When he finally became of age he applied to where he had only dreamed of working: the Texas Rangers.

After a number of tests and interviews he was called in for his last interview.

The Ranger interviewing him said "You're a big strong kid and you can really shoot. So far your qualifications all look good. But we have an 'Attitude Suitability Test' that you must take before you can be accepted. We just don't let anyone wear our badge."

Then, sliding a service pistol and a box of ammo across the desk, the Ranger says, "Take this pistol and go out and shoot six illegal aliens, six ACLU lawyers, six liberal congressmen, six drug dealers, six Muslim extremists, and a rabbit."

The young kid asked "Why the rabbit?"

"Great attitude," said the Ranger. "When can you start?"
