The unfortunate part of our current legal system really leaves them no choice. Let's take the example of Grapevine Mills. You and I look at the sign, agree that the wording doesn't match the TPC and therefore the sign is unenforceable. The chief of police in Grapevine just doesn't happen to agree with our assessment. The Irving Convention Center has a properly worded 30.06 sign but the TPC doesn't give them the right to post it. I won't want to bet on the results if one of Irving's finest notices a bulge in your shirt while you are there. From my view point, the "big boys" in the crowd aren't getting it right either.Oldgringo wrote:It is said, among other things, that, "...a little learnin' can be a dangerous thing...". I'm forever amazed at the number of folk who take a 8-10 hour Texas CHL class and apparently think that course qualifies them to be lawyers and judges, etc.The Annoyed Man wrote:Why, why, WHY do CHL holders persist in trying to inform the ignorant that their signs are not compliant?
The thread about the soldier and carrying in the hospital while he may or may not have consumed enough alcohol to make him intoxicated is another example. For me, none of this is cut and dried and having the discussions about it makes me far less likely to make a stupid and potentially very expensive mistake in judgement.
