From the article:
Perry has faced one misdemeanor charge in Texas, according to Department of Public Safety records: an assault against a family member in 2005 for which he pleaded no contest and got probation. No other charges were found under Perry’s name.

Wonder how he got a LTC

Misdemeanor will not prevent one from getting an LTC.

Ok....I thought a misdemeanor domestic assault conviction would disqualify you. I guess assault against a family member is something different.

Criminal mischief in the night time.

Again, unless they are trying to steal your car burn it, ETA WITH YOU IN IT, or are doing damage that you cant recover otherwise, i.e. insurance, that will be a pretty thin defense to running down a crowd, especially when you can't pick and choose who you're going to be hitting/stopping. IMHO.

The spirit of the criminal mischief is meant to be at your home or real property. I know your car is an extension of your home for certain laws but there are specific use of force justification laws pertaining to incidents involving you in your car, i.e. them trying to get in or drag you out breaking windows etc, so I'm not sure the criminal mischief law would apply to you driving thru town at night since other sections cover that. Just thinking out loud.

From the article...

"Uber prohibits riders and their guests, as well as driver and delivery partners, from carrying firearms of any kind while using the app, to the extent permitted by applicable law.”

I've never used any ride share crap, but is there any way for them to enforce this?
Sounds basically like a request.
Or is it comparable to 30.06/07?

Well he had a carry permit so I would assume that the extent permitted by applicable law says he can carry.

 

[Shady]

After so many years looks like 15 from his assault

I believe you can try to get a permit.

How about the a$$hole protester that shot three times at the car?

He should be facing some charge(s)

Sure seems like it to me too.

They’ve fired their “independent contractors” for defensive shootings before. In a right to work state, Uber has the right to terminate employment. 30.06/07 doesn’t apply.

They’d rather see their workers murdered than to have them be able to defend themselves because optics.

They are not employees.

They can terminate the contract.

 

[oldag]

Personal thoughts? I think Uber is trying to have their cake and eat it too. Setting rules or policy they really have no place setting in the first place. Calling the drivers "private contractors" instead of employees, so they can avoid much of the things that are associated with having employees.

Absolutely.

There are exceptions. Article says "family member", well siblings do not apply. It was 2005, and he is 33 so he was 18, possibly still at home.

He also could not be in the Army if he was a DV convict.

Even if a domestic violence case is handled off base in the civilian criminal court system, criminal conviction or even a misdemeanor involving domestic violence can end a service member's military career; the 1996 Lautenberg Amendment to the Gun Control Act of 1968 makes it unlawful for anyone who has been convicted of a misdemeanor of domestic violence to possess firearms. The law applies to law enforcement officers and military personnel.

Are we sure he has an LTC? Motorist Protection Act may apply.

 

[Texasgordo]

Deleted.. wrong thread

 

[Texasgordo]

Moved to the correct thread

Chief said both he and deceased had LTC.

Ok.

 

[Frank59]

I think the third guy shooting from the crowd had an LTC as well. He might have some problems before this is over.

Or at a minimum have his LTC yanked by DPS.

One can hope...

I just have to say WOW.....three days ago I sent an email to KXAN asking them why they are portraying Garrett Foster as a some kind of damn martyr and haven't shown the street interview of him from Twitter where he talks about the cops killing him if he uses the gun against them and the people that they are protesting being too big of pu***es to do anything about it.

10 O'clock news tonight......they showed the whole interview while of course bleeping out Garrett's colorful language.

Props to KXAN for airing that.

Misdemeanor conviction of family violence is a disqualifier for purchase of a firearm by federal law. As far as I know, Texas law as well. As well as LTC.
But charges filed are not always what goes to final court disposition.
He could very well have pled guilty to a lesser assault charge or disorderly conduct.
It all hinges on the court ordered disposition of the case.
