Reciept proving ownership of the gun

Reciept proving ownership of the gun

Why? Isn't up to "them" to prove it was stolen? Just because you don't have a sales receipt doesn't mean it's stolen. Am I missing something here?

wow, I caught a case while ccw.
my permit was yanked but didnt get any unlawful carry rap.
they gave it back after I showed a sales reciept.
good thing it wasnt a ftf trans.

I re-read the thread and I'm not sure what the term ".....caught a case..." means. Please educate me.

You must be the only one who has a clue what he is talking about.

I can't make any sense of his post.

Friday was a drinking day, sorry

Went to the grey-bar motel

"Caught a case" is slang for being charged with a crime. It's most prevalent amongst those who are familiar with the court system.

Guess I'm glad I didn't know what it meant!!

 

[Gunns0902]

I'm just curios how Craig came to include it in his vernacular.

I'm surprised it took 3 pages for a post involving our friend, the BOS.

I have an idea. If you must drink, don't carry and don't drive. It's one of my rules . I do drink but never until I'm where I plan to lay my head for the night. Otherwise, I'm armed and sober. It's simple and responsible. If you have a Texas CHL, the instructor told you what the consequences may be. You may or may not think it fair, but "It is what it is". Blaze away. I'm way too old to give a damn what irresponsible folks think.

Txi got this right.

must be more if he was charged with a felony

Sec. 46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS. (a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun, illegal knife, or club if the person is not:
(1) on the person's own premises or premises under the person's control; or
(2) inside of or directly en route to a motor vehicle or watercraft that is owned by the person or under the person's control.
(a-1) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly carries on or about his or her person a handgun in a motor vehicle or watercraft that is owned by the person or under the person's control at any time in which:
(1) the handgun is in plain view; or
(2) the person is:
(A) engaged in criminal activity, other than a Class C misdemeanor that is a violation of a law or ordinance regulating traffic or boating;
(B) prohibited by law from possessing a firearm; or
(C) a member of a criminal street gang, as defined by Section 71.01.
(a-2) For purposes of this section, "premises" includes real property and a recreational vehicle that is being used as living quarters, regardless of whether that use is temporary or permanent. In this subsection, "recreational vehicle" means a motor vehicle primarily designed as temporary living quarters or a vehicle that contains temporary living quarters and is designed to be towed by a motor vehicle. The term includes a travel trailer, camping trailer, truck camper, motor home, and horse trailer with living quarters.
(a-3) For purposes of this section, "watercraft" means any boat, motorboat, vessel, or personal watercraft, other than a seaplane on water, used or capable of being used for transportation on water.
(b) Except as provided by Subsection (c), an offense under this section is a Class A misdemeanor.
(c) An offense under this section is a felony of the third degree if the offense is committed on any premises licensed or issued a permit by this state for the sale of alcoholic beverages.

It looks like your friend opens himself up to an additional Misdemeanor A in addition to his DWI charges.

With our carrying of guns, we accept a greater responsibility and should not be drinking.

Little fix there.....
