"He’s 25 and has a gun in his vehicle. No problem." Based on this quote from the OP I assume also that he was carrying under MPA. I must say though, I don't remember "shooting in the air" specifically being covered in my CHL class.TexasGal wrote:The OP does not mention if this rocket scientist has a CHL or was carrying under MPA. His actions indicate ignorance of the law so I am perceiving it was under MPA.
What goes up must come down is something I learned at a very young age when I would toss toys in the air and they would land on my head. I don't think one needs to go through a CHL class to understand this basic law of Physics.
In this case, the words used by the young man are what hung him more than his actions. If he had said he shot at one of them and missed he would probably be fine. If he had said I shot one over their head he still might be fine. But "I shot a warning shot in the air" was just a stupid thing to say.
