Re: Texas High Court Limits Self Defense Law

Re: Texas High Court Limits Self Defense Law


Is there a good book, hopefully of a "Reader's Digest" or "For Dummies" or best combining both that covers the basics of what a license holder needs to know on most things CHL?

Re: Texas High Court Limits Self Defense Law

Someone's gonna need to explain to me how that affects law abiding people who are not in the process of resisting arrest... or some other situation in chapter 9 that I might find myself in.

I had an armed officer mistakenly enter my house several years ago. (Wife failed to lock the door to the side yard... don't get me started)
Short version... he was dispatched (correctly) to an alarm call and had the right house number but the wrong street in the same neighborhood.
At one point, I ...

Judge rejects state terrorism charge.


To be fair, that crime wasn't "terrorism"... Hard for me to argue with dropping that particular charge.
