PING!
Ice hockey is now being played in Hell! ACLU Texas is SUPPORTING the new traveling law!
It actually makes sense...Texas already has a concealed carry law; the new law creates a presumption of innocence that must be applied to everyone carrying concealed in a vehicle until the State proves that the person is in violation of one of the five criteria.
The ACLU can claim that they do not support the invidividual right interpretation of the Second Amendment but still are actively engaged in protecting individual rights in Texas where a law they don't agree with exists.
Doesn't make sense you say...that's why they are called lawyers - the words "common sense" and "lawyer" don't butt heads in the same sentence very often.
I'm more concerned that prosecutors are instructing police officers to violate state law. That's a cime in most jurisdictions except Chicago (/sarcasm)...who will charge and prosecute the police officer that makes an arrest in violation of the statute and the prosecutor who instructed the officer to do so?
I can tell you that Dallas and Houston are in defiance of the new law
