But I swear (can't be 100% sure) that TexDOT has decided to add a useless sign to our state's mix, to wit: "State Law - Observe All Warning Signs." I have always thought that if the state posts a sign, you obviously have to obey it. Why does TexDOT feel that they have to state the obvious...

The SCOTUS ruled correctly according to the law in this case, as they should do. The problem is Congress can't write coherent laws. There is a section of the code that says that for the following list of crimes, you get an extra sentence that must be run consecutively instead of concurrently with an...

I am just curious and too lazy to research it myself. Does anyone know what the federal statute of limitations is on prohibited person in possession of a firearm or lying on the 4473? How about the bribery of a public official statute? I think this is why they are just slowing down these investigati...

I thought Castle Rock VS Gonzaleaz established that police are not obligated to protect you. Another part of the decision was the police had qualified immunity. I'm no lawyer, though. That case can be a little more nuanced than it looks. The general rule is that police are there to protect society ...

If Trump or another Republican does not win in 2024, I believe this will mark the end of democracy in America. I do not believe it is the end of democracy (or of the republic) in our country. I do believe it is an explanation of why they are trying so hard to get "weapons of war" out of t...

Part of the 14th Amendment says: No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction ...

My bet would be that he dropped it and reached for it, pulling the trigger without fully knowing it (he was intoxicated according to the article). The person hit in the leg would be the primary victim with the pistol angle down and held horizontally as he grabbed it. The person hit in the neck eithe...

I do not know much about how hard firefighters or EMTs are on their watch, but might I suggest two watches? As a patrolman, I was very hard on watches. I tried going to good heavy duty watches and found that the G-shock is one of the best. I also really liked the Citizen diver watches. They were nea...

The Government had best reign in the government or WE THE PEOPLE will have to. I am disappointed to say that my best guesstimate right now says we will be actively reigning in the government by January 31, 2025. I am afraid that too many good men and not enough bad ones will be feeding the Tree of ...

Nurses really don’t like guns. At least my friend who is a nurse hates them with a passion. They blame the gun not the person. The concept of good people with guns make the world safer has not been widely accepted. I blame the media. The media rarely reports on the 300 million guns that have never ...

In this case, the logic ...

I was going to claim a 75mm howitzer, but they are a little hard to carry around.

From The Texas Law State Library. https://guides.sll.texas.gov/protest-rights/police Do I need to show a police officer my ID? Texas law only requires that you show your ID to a police officer under certain circumstances. These circumstances include: after you've been arrested, when you are driving...

I think this is a very gray area of the law. As posted, the law requires you to display both your ID and LTC if you are asked to by a peace officer or magistrate. There are two problems with this. The first is that the penalty for not doing so has been repealed, which makes it a useless law. The big...
