A Texas skirmish, the likes of which we haven't seen since the days of the Alamo:
[Warning: Language and butt-whoopin']
According to TMZ, this took place on Saturday afternoon in Odessa, TX, at the store's grand opening!
And what a grand opening it was!
The Odessa Police Department tells TMZ ... they responded to the disturbance Saturday at approximately 2:52 PM. Cops said two men started arguing while waiting in line for the restroom. The incident then turned physical.
It's unclear what exactly started the argument ... but in the video, you can see 4 men paired off in separate tussles, and then more guys start running in.
Yes, this was a bathroom line argument!
Because Bass Pro Shops is one of the few places where men stand in longer lines for the restroom than women do.
A woman can be heard screaming, 'These grown-a-- men act like idiots! ... And you wonder why our schools are falling apart!' The school district that serves Odessa reportedly received a 'D' rating from the Texas Education Agency for the last school year.
Good to know that Odessa schools stink.
Not sure why this is the CAUSE and not the RESULT of the bad schools, but Brenda at Bass Pro has it figured out, I guess.
But all's well that ends well:
Instead of breaking them apart, the new recruits start throwing 'bows of their own -- showing a little 'Southern Hospitality' -- right in the middle of the crowded store ...
According to police, 'All parties involved declined to press charges and no arrests were made. Bass Pro Shops criminally trespassed the subjects who began fighting and they were all released from the scene.'
They all got their punches in, their frustrations out, and everyone walked away happy to avoid any legal trouble.
If you're looking for a more peaceful time shopping for your outdoor gear, maybe try one of Alabama's Bass Pro Shops?
