Army hero disarmed and arrested for carrying a rifle

[drillsgt]

Not only was I walking with my son, I was doing so in the middle of the country amongst fields and pastures - away from people who wet their pants at the sight of a gun.

If people are scared of guns in Texas they are in the wrong state, i'm sure CA, NY, IL etc. has room for them though.

Wait until I'm able to release the Dashcam footage. It's actually WORSE than what I was able to get on video.

Assuming you are the person in question, I can't wait for you to release that video.

It's been dead for a few months. Wouldn't be hard to be more interesting than dead.

The video in this thread is of you?

Actually, we are allowed to openly carry rifles and shotguns here in Texas, just not pistols. The reason you can't find an open carry law for those is because there isn't one. Rights aren't bestowed by laws created in legislatures. Laws only serve to RESTRICT rights, not grant them.

Since there is no law AGAINST openly carrying longarms in Texas, the practice is perfectly legal.

Welcome to

Thank you. Sorry it's taken so long to respond.

Since this thread ended, I endured two corrupt trials. The first one ended in a mistrial and in the second one I was found guilty of the class b misdemeanor of "interfering with the duties of a peace officer" even though they could never explain what duties I interfered with. We are in the appeals process waiting on the transcipts - still - from those trials that ended in November. The court is trying to price us out of an appeal by charging us $8000 for transcripts which we need to file a proper appeal. Texas law gives them 120 days to produce those.

8K for transcripts? Just how many weeks did your trial last?

The douche with the rifle is a big mouth idiot. Not sure what when down before the filming started but a classic example of how NOT to act. Some people are their own worst enemy. Oh and ya good example for a dad.

Here's what went down before I started filming: Dashcam Video Released of Vet?s Viral Arrest for ?Rudely Displaying? Rifle on Hike With Son ? and It Reveals the Context Everyone?s Been Waiting For | Video | TheBlaze.com

The first trial was 4-days, two of that jury deliberation. The second trial they didn't put up all the prosecution witnesses from the first trial because in the first trial they were forced to admit that the arresting officer lied to his supervisor and on his sworn affidavits of probable cause. The second trial lasted two days.

I paid 12k for a trial that lasted 8 days...but I talk fast...and a lot.

 

[CathyInBlue]

Mine was less than $500, but my trial lasted a day.

Im with you

 

[Rhoadmar]

The sad thing is that the officers involved think they did nothing wrong.

 

[atvdave]

OK.. I need some too....

 

[Kutnupe14]

So a jury rendered the verdict

So a jury rendered the verdict

Sounds like it. I am curious as to why the defense didn't call the same witnesses that the prosecution used the 1st time but decided against using them the 2nd time since it appears they helped the defenses case.
