Note: These people teach gun safety and signed forms reqarding drug use.

Here in Texas, you must know the local laws to teach a gun safety or concealed firearms class. These people knew the law and violated the law. They had and transported drugs in a purse (admitted). They had drugs in the house (admitted). They carried their weapon illegally in a vehichle (no contest plea).

This life time member of the NRA can find no grounds to defend them. None whatsoever.

Nor does this lifetime member defend them for breaking the law. But the proper penalty is imprisonment or fine -- not the theft of their property.

The next time you drive 70mph is a 55mph zone, you'll probably consider what the fine might be if you get caught. My guess is that it probably fits the offense, somewhere around $60 or $75. But perhaps the cops might like to keep your car, too? Hmmm....

Agreed. With all the pap about drugs and guns aimed at law abiding gun owners, they should either have fought the charges, or quit whining. If they are teaching gun safety, they should set a superior example, and have thought about how their actions (in a worst-case-scenario) would reflect on the entire gun owning community,.

I will not tolerate the presence of illegal drugs in my home or vehicle. My friends know this, and the rare few who might partake will not compromise me by having drugs in their posession when they come to visit.

Does go to show that the drug test doesn't seem to be working very well, though--at least in this instance.

The fact that all the laws involved are very clearly unconstitutional, of course, cuts no ice with a "lifetime NRA member". That's the reason so many of us regard the NRA as a guncontrol lobby.

Possession of a half-ounce of wacky weed blows away their Second Amerndment rights, not to mention their Fifth (seizure of property without compensation)?
