Re: HPD officers no-billed in Carnaby case

What does the Castle Doctrine have to do with this? :???: § 83.001. AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE. It is an affirmative defense to a civil action for damages for personal injury or death that the defendant, at the time the cause of action arose, was justified in using deadly force under Section 9.32, Penal Co...

Re: CHL class shooting experience

That was certainly different from my experience at my CHL class. There are a lot of CHL instructors here on this forum and I'm sure they will give you a better answer. This sounds like the way Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch teaches handgun defense. I have some DVD's of his teaching and that is what h...

Re: A word to the wise...

Lastly, legal advice given here should ALWAYS be prefaced or ended with "IANAL" if you are indeed not one. If Chas or another member of the Texas Bar gives advice, they know how to cover themselves. Everyone else, as seemingly knowledgeable members, might give advice in good faith that tu...

Re: Sage legal advice from law professor and LEO?

But, I also wanted to present the real life side. In real life, when you cooperate with a cop and all he has is something minor, it could get you off with a warning instead of a ticket or arrest. If you do not cooperate, the cop will charge you with what he can. Part of the logic is his resentment ...

Re: Sage legal advice from law professor and LEO?

And the more I think about it, the more I think the movie My Cousin Vinnie is a great example of why you need a lawyer anytime you are stopped or questioned by a cop. The whole scenario in the movie, of the coincidences and the mistaken testimony and the way the admissions were interpreted by the s...

Re: Sage legal advice from law professor and LEO?

I don't know if I am even making any sense, or what it is I am asking, really. I would like to hear some more comments from some of the LEO's here, I know that there are a lot of them on this forum. There are also lot of folks on the forum that understand the law very well and I would appreciate yo...

Re: Sage legal advice from law professor and LEO?

And, to be fair, I also always give a caveat to anyone. If you cooperate with the police, talking with them or letting them search, you are much more likely to be let go with a warning, even if they do find something minor. Cops are humans and they will be easier to get along with you cooperate. Wh...

Re: Minor chuckle

I can't imagine a .45 Pistol or a CO2 cylinder from a life raft being used as a propulsion device. If the astronaut jumped real high and fired the .45 Pistol it might turn him end-over-end and land on his head 10 feet away. :mrgreen: I remember being given a similar list for a class in graduate scho...
