Coyote Kid, SASS#54714 15 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Hey Alamo, A couple years ago I bought a ball cap with "Walker Texas Ranger" on it at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame in Waco, TX.

Solo_Sam 0 Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Chuck Norris already has a shrine at the Texas Ranger Museum in Waco. It has some props and a leather jacket that was his costume. The Texas Ranger Museum is a pretty cool place. -Solo Sam Link to post Share on other sites

Jack Houston # 35508 0 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 That show was BS!!!!!! He always wanted to Kung Foo with the bad guys and they did!! (in the script) a Real Bad Guy would have blown him away!! And his partner was supposedly an ex Dallas Cowboy Plus, I've never heard of a Texas Ranger that had a beard!!

Pulp, SASS#28319 284 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 On this episode of Walker Texas Ranger: Chuck Norris gets mad at someone early in the show, and 55 minutes later kicks the snot out of him. Link to post Share on other sites
C. Erroll Madre 0 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Actually, the news people got it all wrong. The way it was supposed to read is that the Texas Rangers were just made honorary Chuck Norrises. Guns don't kill people, Chuck Norris kills people. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest EL NEGRO GATO #8178 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Howdy All, when I started acting with my cowboy group in 1989 I took on the persona of a Texas Ranger working the Iowa,South Dakota and Nebraska territories in 1880 looking for bail jumpers and escaped outlaws I was presented an honorery Texas Ranger commission from 1880 I have the certificate and badge which I still proudly wear. I've given out around 100 Texas Ranger blank commissions to "Rangers" wearing the badge ENG Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Dog, SASS #20401 29 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Chuck still ain't a REAL Texas Ranger. Honorary and real are far from the same. Neither is Ed, but ole Ed is a world class champ, pard, and yarn spinner. There are exactly ZERO real Rangers with either a black hat OR a beard. Nor do they carry Berettas. Usually Sig Sauers in 357 Sig or 45 or 1911s. Link to post Share on other sites
Yul Catchum 0 Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Wow! Sounds like some folks got something stuck in their craw. When i met Norris years ago he treated all of us wearing the badge with respect. He developed and personally oversaw a major juvenile program in texas schools. He worked with LEO's and helped plenty of them and their families. And while he's not my favorite actor nor was his TV show among those I watched he obviously did something of such consistent magnitude that the Texas Rangers felt he was worthy of an honorary appointment. And Black hat...., oh for crimney sakes. Link to post Share on other sites

But if you want to wear a Ranger badge within the boundaries of the state of Texas you best stop by the nearest Ranger Company & let them know you're doing it for theatrical purposes & get their ok. To do otherwise is a felony in this state. Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Loco 13 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 The job of the REAL Texas Rangers was finished by 1880. In 1935 I believe they reorganized and now its just another DPS police force. Nothing notable about the New Texas Rangers. If they were REAL Rangers there would be no border problem. So,its only fitting they add another Joke to their ranks. Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Houston # 35508 0 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 The Rangers are the Investigative division of the DPS, Kinda' like the FBI of Texas!! http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/TexasRangers/ Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Loco 13 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I respect the Rangers but they have a totally different charter. They just ain't the original badasses everyone confuses them with. Link to post Share on other sites
hud 65 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Chuck Norris's tears cure cancer, problem is Chuck never cries. In his beard he hides another FIST. He's so tough, he doesn't have to do ANYTHING for a Klondike bar. hud (who met the real Chuck, and found him a very personable, likeable, and funny fellow. Shoulda seen his face when I said "I thought Bruce Lee KILLED you") Link to post Share on other sites
Col. Nathan C. Riddles, SASS # 7462 2 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 There was a picture of Norris, Gov. Perry & a group of Rangers at the awards in Garland in yesterday's paper. Norris was wearing a grey suit, (court attire for a Ranger) and the beard was gone. He even got a haircut.

Phiren Smoke GUNFIGHTER 36 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 OK I can't resist any longer. Chuck Norris can divide by zero. And my personal favorite......When Chuck Norris jumps in the water he doesn't get wet the water gets Chuck Norrised. Smoke Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Mike 995 Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I like the episodes where he goes back in time to the old west, then the beard is ok. Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Dog, SASS #20401 29 Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Nothing is stuck in my craw. The thing is, I've known and worked with several real Texas Rangers. They are a very great asset to local law enforcement who may have limited resources. NONE of them would be caught dead in a black hat or beard even if it were allowed. There are only a few dozen of them in the whole state. Not ONE has a beard or wears anything but a silver belly. I could not stand to watch the show just because of the beard/black hat/Beretta stoopidity. Link to post Share on other sites

While Hollywood put their touch of inaccuracy on the show, Mr. Norris worked very hard to paint Law Enforcement in a positive light to society....something that our profession needs these days!
