    Don't protest when your rights are being violated, you'll sound like a "big mouth" "douche".


    I agree ......I can never understand why LEO here defend of try to find excuses for police misconduct..... these type of response's here should make some of you understand blue will protect blue even when it clear your rights are being violated. Some of the response's here on site to threads about police misconduct from LEO have made me jaded to the police .

    These same people will trample on your gun rights if newer laws are past ...... lets see how some of you armchair keyboard warriors do when your rights are violated or your wife's or kids......this is why the gun control people win because you want to argue about how someone acted when their rights are crushed and not stand in one solid voice when gun right are violated. As always know your rights and never trust the police to know your rights or protect them.....:patriot:

    Texas law is kinda funny on this issue, it appears. I mean this IS Texas, given that one can OC without a license, I'd imagine that Texas LEOs see it a lot. So what exactly was the issue in this case? Do long guns meet a stricter requirement than handguns?

    And yeah, that guy had a big mouth. If the officers were right or wrong, he simply should have calmly stated his case, and complied.

    Wait...

    Texas does not allow OC based on anything I can find. :dunno:

    Perhaps you should be more concerned about yourself in such a situation rather than some random "armchair keyboard warriors."

    Good, and by the tone of your post, I figure you probably acted like a grown man with common sense (forgive me for my snarky previous post). Would you say that was correct?

    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.
