Re: Friendswood: Man charged after "pulling gun" on salesmen

As I understand it, it is generally OK to answer one's door with a openly-carried or held weapon as long as unwarranted threats aren't made.

What if the salesmen saw a legally-displayed weapon and exagerated a bit as far as threats?

Re: Friendswood: Man charged after "pulling gun" on salesmen

I know that a person has rights to display weapons on their own property, but what are the limits?

Or perhaps it didn't happen on the man's property.

They don't steal enough from any one victim to warrant felony charges, and if the consumer complains enough they can actually issue a subscription.
That scam may need to be updated, as fewer buy printed magazines these days.
