So you now know more about what constitutes Texas law than the 3 officers on the scene? It’s no different than driving without a license. Even if you left your license at home you don’t get a do over to go prove it later. Say he only had a concealed carry which would mean he would need to have his FOID card on him at the time. That could be a low charge but it’s going to stick. They always trump up charges to try and get something to stick. Unlawful Carry of a Weapon An individual is prohibited from possessing a handgun while they are committing an offense (other than an offense punishable by a traffic ticket) – even if they are in a generally permissible place to lawfully carry even without a license. For example, imagine you put your handgun in your car where the handle is still visible, go to work, and after work you head to happy hour. Now imagine you get stopped and charged with DWI. Under Texas law, the officer can charge you with UCW because you were committing an offense other than a Class C traffic offense. So while you may have never intended to commit the offense of UCW, by possessing a handgun while committing an offense other than a traffic ticket, the officer can charge you with UCW. For whatever reason you seem to be making this out to be much more than it is. These look to be like trumped-up charges to land something and make it stick, most likely because states have lost tons of Revenue during quarantine. I would not be shocked in the least if his blood test results came back and he was either barely intoxicated or under the intoxication level. I wouldn't be shocked to see that unlawful carry get tossed out as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s also possible that he refused the breath test, so that set the warrant for blood examination protocol into motion. We shall see. I’m glad no one was hurt in the incident, and hopefully Ed learns the lesson. Sometimes the lessons learned the hard way are the lessons learned for a lifetime. Sometimes they aren’t.. everyone trying to beat a DWI DUI charge should always demand a blood test or refuse the Breath Test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the probably cause for the blood draw. He will sit at Montgomery hospital for a couple hours waiting on the warrant He failed the field test. Says they drew his blood before taking him to jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting how much certain people seem to enjoy things like this. He who is without sin cast the first stone. Hypocrisy abounds. I don’t think anyone thinks it’s abnormal for a 23 year old kid to go out, ride his ATV , drink a few, and make a bad choice. I think the disgust is that we have a huge opportunity this year. We haven’t won a division in 20 years and we just put an unnecessary roadblock up. We are playing for home field playoff games now. It matters when someone takes themselves out of games doing something stupid. Edited May 17, 2020 by Locomark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the allegations, what it seemed like he did was really dangerous. This was in a construction zone during normal hours while towing something. if it turns out he was drinking while driving in this situation, the risk of harm to others was very high.

I've carried a firearm for 40 years. Myself and many of the people I know who are licensed to carry are hardly cavalier about it. You play by the rules, practice and keep safe. You would never know we carry because we don't advertise it. So quit painting with such a broad brush. Almost all of the crimes and shootings you read about are committed by criminals with illegal guns. Oh and as a rule we don't drink and drive with open containers with our guns. Just sayin'.

So if doesn’t have that charge how is he missing games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big donation. Then add the fines for the charge itself. like I said I have had 5 soldiers plead down to wet reckless in my years stationed in Texas without any big donation.
