Fiscal fitness. The best thing about Plantation Oaks isn’t the $10/month membership to Aerofit. Or the on-site facilities like jacuzzi, two pools, men’s and women’s weight rooms (each with a sauna), tennis courts, basketball and volleyball courts. The best thing about Plantation Oaks is that you get all this and more for as little as $170 a month this summer. That’s fiscal fitness. ^ N Hwy 6 Bypass PLANTATION Post Oak Mall OAKS „ cc I Texas Ave m PLANTATION OAKS I'.OI \ Ko.id (>‘M mu Financing Your Mai A Minor Miracle?

Rep. Sam Johnson, R-Plano, chairman of the House Subcommit tee on the Licensing of Firearms, noted that a handgun law had failed in the 1987 Legislature and said his subcommittee was created to identify problems within current state law, if there are any. James Brown of Austin, legislative director of the rifle association, said the law now prohibits the carring of handguns by citizens. Dr. Edward Leddy, professor of Criminal Justice Studies at Tarleton State University, said Texas’ hand gun law is vague, makes it impossible to prove a legal right to carry a hand gun and forces police “to decide on the basis of superficial appearances whether to make an arrest.” “The criminal in a suit and tie may go free while an honest working man in jeans gets arrested,” Leddy said. David Edmondson of Dallas, exec utive director of the rifle association, said 47 states have a permit system for carrying handguns. He said doctors, nurses, real estate and insurance salesmen, as well as retired law officers who have made some enemies, are among those who are carrying handguns illegally for self-protection.

Leddy said laws which refuse to grant licenses to citizens to carry handguns to protect themselves “are being widely disregarded. Instead, they follow the old police maxim: It is better to be tried by 12 than car ried by six.” UP BIG SAVINGS! Buy and Sell Through Classified Ads Call 845-2611
