You still can’t confront someone in the street with a gun. Your house? Yes. Public street? Not likely. Father and son are still guilty and probably going to jail.
‘Your house?’ NO!!! I tried after 2 antagonists were on my yard and threatening me. I figured there were going to break my door down. I went outside with a rifle to scare them away, but the cops arrested my for agg assault with a deadly weapon and I had to get deferred adjudication for 10 years. So do NOT take your gun outside. This was TX too btw.
I disagree and so does the DA that initially reviewed the case. The power to make a felony citizen arrest naturally includes the right to be armed.
