laws about shotguns and rifles - slightly off topic

[txinvestigator]

Whatever. You DO NOT HAVE TO BE DOING ANYTHING DANGEROUS to be prosecuted under this section. "Most likely" is not a legal principle.

Sling your AR and walk down main street in a hunched over manner, looking quickly and nervously from side to side, and move quickly from trash can to light pole, etc. There is NOTHING dangerous about that behavior, but it IS going to alarm.

Well, you being a ruff-n-tuff ex-LEO might not but, I and many others, would think there is something VERY dangerous about this type of behavior. And that would cause alarm.

Of course it would cause alarm, but that behavior, in and of itself, is not dangerous. To meet the statute the conduct does NOT have to be dangerous.

But what do I know?
