Backed into ex-wife's car accidentally on her property.
Over $500. worth of damage.
In Texas, if that was done on purpose, it's wilful destruction of private property and is classed as a felony.
Ex-wife claims it was on purpose.
Convicted of a felony, but probated sentence.
Should I EVER have a Concealed Carry Permit?
No, you should not ever have a Concealed Carry Permit.
Because you should never need a permit to exercise your God given right to keep and bear arms.
It is exactly that good men like you ( I know you to be a good man because I have been following the TT thread. God knows your heart.) are prevented from packing under our laws that make the passing and enforcing of those laws a crime.
