If what you were "told" is even true, then the "kid" was carrying where alcohol is sold or consumed. So much for "traveling" as an excuse.Quote:

You have NO IDEA what transpired, but it is interesting how you freely denigrate a LEO while knowing nothing. Even your excuse for facts tell a different tale.Quote:
was arrested by some wonderful example of the Legal System who was not defending Texas, not taking a criminal off the street, not doing his duty, not doing anything of any benefit to us Tax Payers, he was just making an arrest for the benefit of his own personal careerer.
Again, what the hell do you know about it? Apparently a jury of 12 of his peers who, unlike you, had the benefit of the FACTS. I say the young man was a jerk. Heck, I have as much info as you do.Quote:
How did that same jerk off turn it into a Felony? What difference does it make. I know full good and well how that might have been turned into a Felony but so what. It should be a non-issue. That kid should have never been arrested.
You are now just being inane.Quote:
If the kid had been a Judge's kid, it would have all gotten dropped. Same for the child of a D.A., some Lawyers, a State Representative, the Governor, Lt. Governor, State Attorney General, or a good friend of the Arresting Officer.
THE SKY IS FALLING, THE SKY IS FALLING. :crazy-1:
Good grief.
Open carry a rifle and your problem is solved.
Open carry a semi auto Browning BAR (yes the original machinegun BAR) and see if anyone screws with you ever again. LOL
In layman's terms:
THE LAW -
You are allowed to carry a handgun in your vehicle as long as:
1) you LEGALLY own it (CHL does not matter in this instance)
2) someone looking into your vehicle cannot see the ACTUAL WEAPON (it does not matter if the gun is in a bag, case, or a big box that say "THIS IS A GUN")
3) you are not part of a street gang
4) You are not committing a crime (other than minor traffic violations and the like)
GOOD IDEAS -
1) Be smart. By keeping your gun in the front seat under a towel or magazine is just testing the law and asking for trouble. Just because you legally CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD. Just put it in your glove box or somewhere that you KNOW people wouldn't be able to see it.
2) Be a decent human being. If another person is in danger of their life, please use your weapon to protect them.
3) Don't give the LEO a reason to search your car. If you get pulled over, it's a personal choice whether you want to tell them you have a weapon. I usually do, because if they end up searching my vehicle I'd rather them know about it beforehand than be surprised when they find it on their own.
4) Be educated on gun laws. Ask someone who deals with this sort of thing regularly (judges, lawyers, etc), and don't rely on everything you read online.
5) My grandfather says to treat the gun in your car like you would the "gun" in your pants: "LEAVE IT ALONE unless you are taking it out, putting it in, or using it. Don't advertise it, because you don't want to get busted 'brandishing' it in public."
Hope this helps!

100% agreed. If more people just thought about things before asking questions, they'd find most the answers to all the "what if" posts on here.
I've open carried full auto weapons. I've also been asked by the cops to present my tax stamp.Quote:

You'll probably get some funny looks and I imagine someone will call the cops, but the worst that can legally happen is that the police will tell you to take it home.
But once again, CAN you? - Yes. SHOULD you? - Probably not.
