I am glad the VP was able to return fire. However, I have to wonder, since he carries a gun in his car, does he drive his car on school property? Isn't school property a gun free zone?

Some laws have to be ignored.

Hey, I agee, but why is one man prosecuted while another gets a free walk? That's my gripe.

That would be my question as well. Laws for THEE and Laws for me? I have zero problem with the man defending himself and property, but something here doesn't pass the smell test. I wonder if he enforces a Zero Tolerance Policy at the school? Blackbird.

Visit Packing.org for the best info on what states allow people to excercise their rights and what hoops a man must jump through in fascist states like California.

Geez, where are you guys getting that he was on school grounds? Or are you just looking for something to gripe about while assuming he takes his gun in his car onto school grounds.

If he was caught carrying his gun on school grounds while in his vehicle you guys would probably be pissed at the cops.

Louisiana. Further, Gov.Foster passed the "Shoot the Carjacker" bill during his last term..I think.

Texas has excellent property rights laws, but I'm not sure if that extends to the vehicle.

It does not. To clarify that a bit, carrying a handgun in your vehicle is considered to the same as wearing it concealed. The state constitution, as you know, allows the legislature only to regulate the *wearing* of arms, not keeping them, so the Constitutionality of that law is questionable at best..but it is the law. The only exception is a defense to prosecution (meaning you have to prove the exception) is if you are traveling. Traveling is not defined, and over the years Judges have interpreted that more and more restrictively. At one time the rule of thumb, but not the written law, required a trip that crossed at least two county lines. Now however it seems to require a trip with an overnight stay.

The good news is that there was a bill ( ) in the legislature to define traveling in a more common way, such that you could pretty much have a handgun in your vehicle virtually all the time. I thought the bill had not passed, but upon checking it appears to have passed and been sent to the Governor. But according to the Texas State Rifle Association web site, he has not signed it yet. He has until the 19th of June to do so.

I love the way the TSRA describes the bill
"An historic move toward clarifying "traveling" for Texans, visitors to Texas, for Law Enforcement and the Courts. This bill puts the burden of proof on the state instead of the traveler by correcting "gun control laws" that were forced on Texans at the end of the Civil War."

IOW "Up yours, carpetbaggers!"

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate the clarifications. Perhaps one more issue should be touched upon. When you talk of the weapon in a vehicle being considered a concealed weapon, you are refering to the riding compartment aren't you? A weapon can still be carried in the trunk. Right? Does the weapon in the trunk have to be unloaded? Also, is it okay to carry an unloaded weapon absent ammo in the riding compartment? Hmmm, another question comes to mind. Is it okay to have a loaded rifle in the back window of a pickup? Some states allow that (I believe).
