War Veteran Arrested for “Rudely Displaying” Rifle

[ttousi]

A decorated war veteran on a Boy Scout hike with his 15-year-old son was arrested alongside a Texas country road after a police officer accused him of “rudely displaying” a firearm.
Army Master Sgt. C.J. Grisham told Fox News he was illegally disarmed by members of the Temple Police Dept. – even though he held the proper permits to carry his weapons.

Yeah. Not uncommon to see people go on and on about what a bastion of firearms freedom Texas is.

Only because they want to delete the second amendment B4 they do the first.

“In this day and age people are alarmed when they see someone with what you have,” one of the officers told a handcuffed Grisham. “They don’t care what the law is.”

Umm. You'd think the officer should care!

I was wondering the same thing, Maybe he was showing the gun to them "butt first"!

(Ok it was weak, but today wasn't very humorous after this afternoons events).
