The way I read it is the clerk is in the clear as far as Texas law. The problem seems to be it’s Austin.

Here is the problem with the laws. They don’t mean that much to a D.A. that wants to make a name for himself. The D.A. can throw the guy in jail. He can press charges and he can force the accused to pay for a lawyer. When he figures the accused has sweat enough, he can also drop the charges somewhere along the line proving that Austin or any other lib city doesn’t condone that type of behavior.

What I have been trying to explain to Freepers is you have to stay well within legalities and moralities if you choose to strap on a gun.

In Texas, EVERY firearms incident when shots are fired goes to the Grand Jury.

You hit the nail on the head. That's one reason jury nullification is so important.

There's no way I'd vote to convict the clerk of any charge.
