They're trying to get it changed, but OC has been illegal in Texas for a VERY long time.This was 2 years ago when they pass that law? You can't OC in Texas? When did Texas go communist Cali?
What he said.Big Gay Al said:If you saw people in Texas OCing, you saw people breaking the law.
OCing a handgun is not legal in Texas, except maybe on private property.
Sorry guy; but, most residents of states within 500 miles of the Kalifornian state line don't like Kalifonians. When the wife and were in town looking for a rental house the car rental company gave us a car with Kalifornia plates, I "felt the love" the whole time we were here.
I haven't decided yet: troll, or BS artist?Boy do I miss Texas. I saw so many open carrying people it was awesome. I once ran into a guy carrying dual 1911's.
Yeah exercise my 5th amendment rights and get arrested and charged with a ton of crap. Not happening. I'm sorry but this whole not talking to police is what gets your screwed over for a long time.:banghead:
If you saw people in Texas OCing, you saw people breaking the law. OCing a handgun is not legal in Texas, except maybe on private property. If you don't believe me, go ask in the Texas forum.
Everyone makes mistakes. We have a process in Michigan, that we use. It's called "Wash, Rinse, Repeat." Essentially, if you're stopped by a LEO, you keep asking, "Am I being detained?" Also, if you don't have one, you should invest in a small digital audio recorder, one that you can activate easily. Something that allows you to transfer the recording to a computer.I'm sorry if I've come off as a troll. I'm not, I've just had weird experiences with cops. Calling me a BS artist for seeing open carry in Texas is a little over the top. It was on my families property most of the time I saw OC so that's probably why. I don't appreciate being called stupid or a troll or a BS artist. If you have a problem with me PM me and we'll talk it out. I'm here to learn how to exercise my Constitutional rights. Sorry for the 5th amendment statement. It was over the top. :banghead:
We have a law on recording too, but the key is, if there is no expectation of privacy, then only one person needs to know.Oregon, does not have an "Stop and ID" law. We do have a law on Audio recordings under ORS 165.540.
ORS 165.540 Obtaining contents of communications. (1) Except as otherwise provided in ORS 133.724 or 133.726 or subsections (2) to (7) of this section, a person may not:
(c) Obtain or attempt to obtain the whole or any part of a conversation by means of any device, contrivance, machine or apparatus, whether electrical, mechanical, manual or otherwise, if not all participants in the conversation are specifically informed that their conversation is being obtained.
So you must informed all individuals that you are audio recording and try to capture that on your recording device.
Because I almost got arrested for being a suspected gun runner to California. :banghead:
I hang out in my local gun shop and since I have Cali plates and Cali DL since I haven't switched over yet.
Got stopped, asked for ID, gave it. They questioned me about my gun, had me hand it over loaded...( I offered to unload it before handing it over they said no.)ran my serial number and found nothing, since it's not registered and it doesn't have to be in the state of Oregon. At least that's what I'm told by the pro gun good guys. Then they asked me if I go back and forth regularly to Cali, asked if I have bought AR's here and 30 round mags. Ug it's been a bad week. When can you be at the point of it's none of their business? Harassing me is what their doing. Apparently Oregon Sheriff's don't like people from California. :cuss:
Are you kidding me? Who in their right mind would willingly give their ID to the police and submit to an interrogation? Why did you give them your firearm? Why answer questions? Your likely to get yourself landed in prison and you will only have yourself to blame.
If you learn nothing else from this experience, learn this. NEVER disclose to fellow gun owners your experience with the police. (Unless it's a situation where you totally ruled. )Sometimes, the results are worse than the police interrogation. They will constantly throw this in your face. Not all of them, but some will.Because I almost got arrested for being a suspected gun runner to California. :banghead:

Ok, except he didn't say if he was stopped while in his vehicle or not. So it's an assumption in either direction. But having brought this up now, if I was the OP, I'd say, "Yes, I was in my car when they stopped me, that's why I gave my ID."I believe in oregon when you are driving, you are required to show the officer your ID...he had no choice. He didn't have to answer questions.
