Re: Really Ticked Off
If the victim has bodily injury then it’s an assault. Good rule of thumb if the victim needs medical attention and or a band aid. An example of assault by contact is you push someone. You made contact with them but didn’t cause any bodily injury. Yelling moving aggressively is an example of disorderly conduct.ScottDLS wrote:Why should anyone be disqualified federally for a misdemeanor. If the crime is so serious it should be classified as a felony. As you've seen described above "assault" could be yelling at someone or moving aggressively. Hardly seems like a comparison to most felonies.cmgee67 wrote:I’m sorry but you shouldn’t get your LTC if you assaulted your wife. I don’t care how mad someone gets.

Re: Really Ticked Off
I realize that my statement was broad. He never specified on what exactly happened so all we have is what we can imagine. Usually when someone is charged with assault against their spouse it’s a good indication something physical happened. While I don’t know the OP I was simply stating that if he did in fact hurt her and she felt she needed to file assault charges then to me that’s domestic violence and I would never grant LTC. I am not a lawyer or a judge and I am glad I am not. Now the flip Side of the coin could be He didn’t do a thing but she claims he did and it’s her word against his so who’s the judge and jury goin to most likely believe? Her. So he may not even be guilty. I will not apologize for my comment. No need. Also if a lot of decisions were made off of character we’d be in a lot better place. But character in today’s world means diddly. You can’t get by with just a handshake anymore.

I think all too often people post here to try & sway others that they are eligible, when in fact they are not. The link above specifically tells us that his conviction of simple assault on a spouse is permanently disqualying. (whether Misd A, B or C). The actual title of the charge doesn’t specifically have to say “Assault- Domestic Violence”, it just has to have the elements of family violence as described in link above. if he so much as laid a finger on a spouse (or plead guilty to doing so), it fits this category.

Re: Really Ticked Off
OP,
I hope you get your issue resolved.
“The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus,
“Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?”
They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
John 8:3-7
Be careful infecting the discussion with extreme prejudice, details we do not know, nor will we on this public forum I suppose.
All I can say is that catching a dv is not as difficult as one thinks, nor does there have to exist notable injury etc. for dv to apply.
One day it could be you.
I hope you get your issue resolved.

The left lies about everything. Truth is a liberal value, and truth is a conservative value, but it has never been a left-wing value. People on the left say whatever advances their immediate agenda. Power is their moral lodestar; therefore, truth is always subservient to it. - Dennis Prager
Re: Really Ticked Off
This has been an interesting discussion but it seems DPS is in a position to know a lot more about the assault than we do. They think he's not eligible. They are so convinced of it, based on their access to court records of the assault conviction, they're taking it to the court of appeals instead of issuing the LTC.
I'm curious what details you saw in the court records that convinced so many of you that DPS is wrong.

Re: Really Ticked Off
Question is, does anyone think that preventing someone like OP to legally carry firearm for life would deter him to harm someone?
If the plan is to hurt someone, do you really need LTC or something equivalent to carry the act?
Just wondering, in interest of public safety and such.

Re: Really Ticked Off
Here is why this is such a big deal for DPS. THE BRADY BILL. Keep in mind that those with a Texas LTC do not go through the FBI background check when buying a gun anyplace in Texas..... This is pretty cut and dry. IF the OP can walk into a gun store tomorrow, PASS the FBI background check and purchase a gun, he has a legitimate argument to be issued a LTC. IF HE CAN'T PASS THE FBI BACKGROUND CHECK then he has zero chance of getting a LTC in Texas. Plain and simple It all comes down to BRADY and how the FBI classifies his arrest/conviction. Hope the info helps.

Re: Really Ticked Off
Me thinks we had a troll in our midst. The OP has had exactly 3 posts and all 3 were the first day.

I know this thread has gone quiet and the OP has probably moved on. However, I found this informative.

Re: Really Ticked Off
If a person is denied an LTC, can they still (or not) carry in their vehicle per the MPA?

Re: Really Ticked Off
It depends on why he was denied. He can not if he is prohibited from purchasing, owning or possessing a gun. If he is allowed to own or possess a handgun, I don't see why he couldn't keep one in his vehicle.Abraham wrote:If a person is denied an LTC, can they still (or not) carry in their vehicle per the MPA?
