Well said KeithB. But I should expect that from a man as old as you.

... here is "a" statute

2006 Code of Virginia § 18.2-282 - Pointing, holding, or brandishing firearm, air or gas operated weapon or object similar in appearance;
A. It shall be unlawful for any person to point, hold or brandish any firearmor any air or gas operated weapon or any object similar in appearance

It's not a Texas statute, but it is "a" statute. I don't get too upset about it. It's kind of like when McGarrett says "Book 'em Danno, Murder One."
