War Veteran Arrested for “Rudely Displaying” Rifle

Postby ttousi on Mon Apr 15, 2013 8:02 am

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.

Congrats to that veteran on his impending financial windfall!

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

So what? You have a right to be rude and to say things people dont like.

“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).

The purpose of a firearm in a defensive situation is to make the other guy leak from holes he was not born with. Your job is to install those orifices for him.
