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.

AUSTIN (AP) — A Texas profes
sor who formerly was a New York
parole officer joined representatives
of the Texas State Rifle Association
on Wednesday in supporting a pro
posal to license the carrying of hand
guns in Texas.
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.

stating whether undergraduate or postgraduate.
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.”
