Texas OC DPS Arrest

[Mauser KAR98K]

Watching the first vid, it appears in which the "manner" the black powder pistol was carried, which I suspect with the hammer half-cocked for safety, and DPS saw is full cocked?

So the open carrying of 1911s are a no go in texas?

Can someone enlighten the rest of us whom reside in free states?

Why was he arrested?

Why did the guys carrying long guns not get arrested?

Is there anything in Texas law about open carry of handguns?

Why did said jackass carry a blackpowder pistol? Was it to deliberately poke said bear until he attacked?

I understand an officer making a mistake and it was easy to do in this situation, but to continue to move forward after it has been clearly shown that you are in the wrong is inexcusable. It seemed that they new they were in the wrong, but did not want to admit the mistake and moved forward with the arrest anyway.

There are some pretty interesting body language and verbal cues with the cops.

A silly excuse to arrest someone and ultimately a waste of time and tax dollars.

So the instrument he was carrying was not firearm by definition nor was he carrying said instrument in manner that could be perceived to have been causing alarm, unless there is something more we don't know about.



Soooo a waste of time..

meh, those cops where being pricks, why?

1.most likely they felt like badasses and knew they can get away with harrasing someone.

2. theyre anti gun (wtf, possible? ) cops.

3. they dont know the law.

4. the guy might have gave them lip, thus pissing them off and detaining him for "reasonable suspicion".
