Crazy: Texas Gun Law Makes Open Carry Of Rifles Legal But Not Pistols

[Jared]

You mean, Texas aint the gun mecca that many people like to pretend it is... SAY IT AINT SO!!!!

long arm carry has always been legal in Texas. They only prohibit the OC'ing of handguns.

If you wish to exercise your rights to conceal carry, you must take a boring class, get fingerprinted like a sex offender, pay $140, pay for a photograph, wait a couple of months for the bureaucrats to get around to mailing you a CHL.... then your good to go

Case in point. Texas isn't some gun Mecca. I remember growing up spending alot of time in liberal Vermont where the right is actually respected.

Let's see if a TX gun group steps in to beat these charges.

We won this nonsense in MI with an 18 year old kid carrying a rifle to a friends house.

Well this has certainly precipitated the need to respond - at least for those three.

If they win in court, what is accomplished if not in a court of record? Trust that they have sincerely strong legal representation.

Meanwhile they are on the hook for cost of their defense unless some significant effort is made by others to contribute.

When is the first hearing date scheduled?

Texas Penal Code Sec 42.01 (a)(8) addresses the intent of the actor - not the "feelings" of observers. Citation issued, citizens left the scene - problem resolved - for the time being. Charge will be dismissed. San Antonio COPS need remedial constitutional training. Next time perhaps consider instructing the stupid anti-2A wench to LEAVE THE SCENE .

In Texas "Every citizen shall have the right to keep and BEAR ARMS in lawful defense of him/herself..........." and that - trumps "feeling" threatened by the mere observation of a gun.

Folks - if you feel threatened by the sight of a gun in Texas .......position your " comfort compass" > Northeasterly , and just follow that yellow brick road.

How is the problem resolved? Are you saying there will be no court case, no trial?

 

[rushcreek2]

I am saying the case will be dismissed " in the interest of justice " at initial hearing due to no offense committed.
