The Law Explained

In the 19th century, vast herds of American bison roamed freely across the Texas plains. Some lazy or opportunistic hunters realized they could simply check into a frontier hotel and shoot the massive animals right from their balconies. The state passed a law to stop this unsporting and incredibly dangerous practice, ensuring stray bullets did not hit innocent townspeople.
