You're right Wildbill, I did not read it closely enough.

I agree. The F-word shouldn't cost me my ability to protect myself. But if this DOC thing is Texas-specific, I'll only be here for another two years I guess, then I'll be back either on-base in Florida or on a ship somewhere, so it won't be an issue.
The people who raised a ruckus about the Utah "loophole" disagree. They were upset that people who didn't qualify for a Texas CHL were using the reciprocity provision in the CHL law to exercise a basic human right. Crazy, right? Worse, some of those legislators actually get away with calling themselves pro gun.

The more I read the statute, it sounds like a lousy and unconstitutionally vague law.
It seems like it was written as a catch-all to cover everything from being rude in public to having a loud party. :rules:

I suspect the original intent was something like other states' prohibition on inciting a riot. However, the recent trend seems to be toward busting citizens for using words common in PG-13 movies. I suppose the next logical step is citing people who criticize Obama in public? :roll:
