I'm more worried about the ones without insurance. Also, since insurance is mandatory, why is "uninsured motorist" the most expensive part of my car insurance?

Being on a Visa, Having a Green Card, or being a Citizen are 'mandatory' to stay, live, and work in this country...
Just Sayin'...

You really expect them to get insurance too?

Just goes back to the point that Criminals Break laws.

And yes, they're criminals. As someone who went through the proper Visa, Marriage, paperwork fiasco with my wife, that took 5 years, 3 interviews, and $6,000 all told to get her her green card, I am infuriated by those who think they can just walk in and live here. I'm more infuriated at my government for allowing this to happen.

This makes me think of when folks tried to get Bill Clinton to define his answers in the Lewinski scandal.

How do you "expose" that you are carrying a gun?

Do you mean show the gun? Do you mean, state that you have a gun?

Showing the gun is illegal.

Stating that you are carrying a gun is not defined as being illegal.
Stating that you are carrying a gun and threatening to do bodily harm with it is a crime (not sure which one), even if you aren't actually carrying.

Please recall that no mention of the subject of this thread showing a gun was ever made. The guy simply made a really stupid and really loud statement that he was carrying. No apparent threat accompanied the statement.

Indeed.

Also, keep in mind that the word 'expose' is not used in the actual statute:

(a) A license holder commits an offense if the license
holder carries a handgun on or about the license holder's person
under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code,
and intentionally fails to conceal the handgun.

'fails to conceal the handgun'

That refers to the handgun itself, not 'fails to conceal the fact that he's carrying a handgun'

-By 'Intentionally Exposing' his gun?
No. He did not actually 'expose' any handgun, so it would not be illegal under that section.
I can run into a bar and say "I've got my Gun! Do you?" even if I was completely unarmed.
How can you expose something you don't even have?

-By Potentially breaching the peace by shouting he had a gun?
Maybe, I don't know what the laws are on breaching the peace. If someone felt threatened, possibly. Perhaps one of the LEO's here can expound further here.

-By Carrying Intoxicated?
Possibly, depending on if he was intoxicated or not, and if he was actually carrying or not.
No one actually saw a gun, so we don't know if he was really carrying.

Why not? At a place like Chili's, the bar is not considered separately for the 51% rule.

Brian
I still thought the bar area of a restaurant was off limits.

Incorrect. This only applies if the Bar is licensed separately from the restaurant, and as such, is it's own 51% location.
