I suggest you read this bill in it entirety! It will allow the LEO to knock on your door and arrest you only because you have had a few beers and own a handgun.
If you are a hunter with a handgun and like to have few beers, you are subject to arrest. IN YOUR OWN HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Section (8) has changed to “while intoxicated” and the following section has been removed;
"[(1) on the person's own premises, or premises under the
person's control, or with permission of the premises owner;]"
If this passes....as written....your are subject to arrest in your own home, our your friends home for possession of a handgun and having a few beers....
Have it re-written....or do not support...
Section (8) should be written as follows.......IMHO
Sec. 46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS.
Sec. 46.035. UNLAWFUL CARRYING OF A HANDGUN
(a) A person in possession of a handgun
commits an offense if they intentionally,
knowingly, or recklessly carry a handgun on or about their person:
(8) while intoxicated AND handles or uses such handgun in either a negligent
or unlawful manner or discharges it other than in self-defense;
We use the "word" of law to our defense......Don't think that the LEO won't use it to their offense.
I want OC...but this bill is very flawed...FIX IT!!!
Accepting a fee (CHL) to move things along is one thing, but to give the GOV the right to knock on my door and arrest me for nothing more than having a few beers and owning a handgun,,,,,,sorry...if there was ever a definition for tyranny.....this would be that.
As it is written, I cannot accept or support this bill...
